Diagnosed with Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)? How's therapy going?

I have mild sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. My doctor said he doesn't think I should stop using bipap. I have an odd sleep pattern where I fully wake up every hour and a half of two hours at most. I can call back asleep. The waking up seems even worse when I use the machine. Any one have suggestions that might help me clarify my thoughts prior to seeing pulmonologist?

I would write a list of possible questions you have for the pulmonologist and take them with you. I find it easier to refer to questions I have written down, otherwise it's easy for me to forget. You might also want to write down your sleep pattern and symptoms like you did here. Here's a website with some tips on planning your conversation with the doctor - https://patientrevolution.org/visit-tools.
