Hmm...I've read that CPap use can actually exacerbate central apnea. Is your sleep doc up on the research?

I had only one episode of central with my nasal cpap. My neurologist has a doctorate in sleep study and the more medication you are on that affects your central nervous system, the more apt you are to have them. Xanax, valium, cyclobenzaprines, anti convulsants......any of those that deal with nervous system.
