[Treatment] Complex Sleep Apnea Questions
#11
RE: Complex Sleep Apnea Questions
I had ASV for 2 years, but I've also got the diagnosis of GOLD 3 COPD. In 2019 I had pneumonia in July, then bronchitis in September. Right after that ASV wouldn't sync with my breathing, so I had to quit.

Inspire wouldn't help Centrals because it's an electrical stimulus to tense throat muscles to reduce physical restrictions causing Obstructive Apnea.

Wow. Sorry to hear about your health issues. I had come to that conclusion too about Inspire.

Thanks for the concern. I'm fortunate I'm not worse physically, so fair quality of life. However if I had more COPD symptoms, they might actually treat me with the correct machine. Catch 22 at it's finest.
