Hello I’m new here and diagnosed with CSA also. I’ve had mine a few yrs about when Covid hit so I’ve only been diagnosed for about 6 months waiting to see sleep specialist I have video appt in June. But I’m on oxygen at night but I’m still unable to get a good nights sleep. And always worn out during the day I do fall asleep watching tv .. but then I don’t have oxygen on so I wake up a lot then pass back out. I’m hoping they will find what I need. But 3 1/2 months is a long wait. I’m very excited to hear your treatment is working. Did ur drs ever figure out what triggers ur CSA? Btw I’m lorraine. Ty for sharing

Hello Lorraine @leefuller1, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry you have to wait so long before your video appointment in June. I thought I would tag @cyrusmanz in case they did not see your post. Hopefully they can share what triggers their CSA if they know.
I have obstructive sleep apnea and was diagnosed about 3 or 4 years ago. It took me a year or so to get used to my CPAP. From what I've read there are different treatments for CSA. The Sleep Foundation has some good information on CSA here - https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-apnea/central-sleep-apnea.

Have you been diagnosed with any other heart related conditions?
