@brendaelk1558 If it is true, 14 is much too high. The medical community doesn't consider treatment a success until the nightly AHI runs under 5.0 consistently. At apneaboard, they'll attempt to get you under 3.0 if possible, and many do even better if they stick to the process. But, you have to be open minded, willing to try stuff, anything so that it can be ruled out, and you have to be methodical. You can't change two things at once and then, when it doesn't work, blame BOTH of them. You change one thing at a time, trial it for three nights, and then discard it/the change/new idea if it's a bust.
You said, '...My Air App, I had ask her about that with my CPAP machine. I have clinical Sleep Apnea and obstructive both it said.'
Is it possible you misheard and that she said you have a combination of apneas called 'complex sleep apnea' because you have both CENTRAL and OBSTRUCTIVE sleep apnea? Your quoted text says 'clinical', but I think you may have forgotten or misheard the term she used. It would be worth a phone call to be corrected if so.
If you have complex or central sleep apnea, you need a different device. You need what is called an 'adaptive servo-ventilator.' The best is made also by RESMED. It's costly, but you should shop around, maybe find gently used. But not without learning exactly what your diagnosis really is.
If you have complex or central, and your providers/care-givers insist that a bi-PAP will do, they're plain......wrong. You need an ASV. They'll tell you that in so many words at apneaboard.com, and urge you to ditch your therapist/providers.
@gloaming thank you so much! I have never heard of it before! Yes I have central and obstructive. I was not thinking, I also have fibro and it makes me so foggy most of the time! Yes, it is central. And I am having a TOUGH time getting use to this BIPAP! It stops the timer when I go to the restroom, I am always getting the red face, and I do not feel a darn bit better!
