Hello @gramps, and again, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Great question about CPAP and central apneas. I'd like to tag some other members (I know @johnbishop also tagged a few people) who have talked about central sleep apnea or other forms of sleep apnea who may have some insights for you. Please meet @kiwi @trippangie17 @yusofa @menotpvcs @hosta @johnhans and @gailb.
Once you have a chance to use the CPAP at the new pressure recommendation, will you have a follow up with your GP?

I tried the higher pressure last night (maximum 10). So far it hasn't done much for me (ahi 8.4). I guess I'll have to do it for a few nights to get any conclusive data
