I did wake several times, so it will take a little time to get used to it.
Previously I had been having, on average, 7 to 15 central apneas and zero to one obstructive apnea per hour, using a regular ResMed 10 BiPap titrated to the best possible pressure. I worked at the titrations over one year of use.
After several posts regarding the central apneas and getting feedback from you guys, I reviewed all my records with my pulmonologist, spent one more night in the sleep lab, and he then submitted to request for an ASV to Medicare. It went through on the first request!
Hallelujah!!!
I do have one question. I had a bunch of hypopneas while my mask was leaking excessively. Does the "Leak Alert" on the ResMed 10 work? I'll try it tonight, but I just had to tell folks who care about this success.
Thanks for the support you all have given me in figuring out how to get my apneas treated.
Relieved,
