RE: Low Oxygen Levels On VPAP
The question is not have you ever been diagnosed but if you have Central/Mixed/Complex Apnea. Even with these most are diagnosed as Obstructive Apnea. That is one reason why we like to see charts, and FULL copies of Sleep Studies (because the summaries usually say OA even when a substantial portion of events in a sleep study say otherwise)

My trust won’t provide an ASV without a special application so I purchased my own ASV second hand from the US I was prescribed an ST machine but it was not comfortable and failed to adequately reduce my Hypopnoea. If you have access to your sleep study’s it might be useful to post here I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea however in my original overnight study and a subsequent overnight study in the local hospital I had an element of Central Apnoea during REM Sleep. |
