Thank you for the link, a useful simple explanation of what is going on (or not) in my brain. Much appreciated.

Thank you as well, MetsFan. I have developed an inordinate amount of nightly Central Apneas after doing so well with my Obstructive Apnea.

Your link helps me understand it a little more but this new development is concerning and I am currently using my CPAP but severe fatigue has set in. Luckily, I am referred to a good Pulmonologist.

I have labs drawn monthly for another medical problem and recently my CO2 levels have been increased; above the normal. None of my medical team physicians has said a word about this increase but, after reading the information in your link, I am well aware of WHY I am experiencing the central Apneas. Now, I need help figuring out the the cause of the increased CO2.

Again, Thank You Much!!
