That's great real life data. I think our situations are somewhat similar. I also do not have full confidence in my sleep doctor. I think he has jumped to conclusions that I have many hypopnea due to obstructive hence his recommendation of bi-level. He discounts the central apnea aspect, the loop gain and Cheyenne Stokes.
I will do the bi-level trial for the data but with great skepticism . I also had pulmonary function test that showed excellent function.
I have no insurance. Canadian (BC) health care is good but will not cover machines. Holter test, stress test and echocardiogram all show no heart problems so my determination to improve disturbed sleep is aimed to keep it that way.
Thanks again for your wisdom.

John Gates

if you have to pay for a machine. spend the money and get an ASV/
Its Crazy what it does but it stopped all my problems. I used a bipap for almost 6 months. Events were still between 20-30 and hour.
