CSA's what are my options?

[robysue]

Common wisdom is to reduce pressure if there are too many CAs.

Yep, that was my first thought too. My second thought probably is not suitable for public reading. Like WT...

(Of course, I've also been fired twice as a patient.)

Really? The second one fired you too? I guess I missed the last one. Better watch out, you will be on the black list like me if you aren't careful. CPAPs Most UnWanted List....Patients to avoid...

Yep, the second doc fired me back in October. We should start a club.

Her thought was that my Titration RX was 18 CPAP originally. I was still managing 5-15 AHI a night on that pressure, so she wanted me to go to 19.. I decided to drop it.. did better, but still has CA's. I never made it to 19.. I tried a week to get to that point, then went back to the pressure "I" found to work best..

I'm really thinking CPAP/APAP isn't going to be what I need long-term, but I can't get her to do another sleep study to find out. Thanks to a forum member here, I'll have an AutoSV Machine to use come Friday.. hopefully that will let me stop taking this awful stuff to get sleep..

Most of my CA's are suppressed by a drug I was taking for other issues, however I can't stand the side effects. My hands, feet, and nose are numb 3/4 of the day (That annoying tingling feeling you get when you sit on your leg, for instance. They didn't tell me to stop taking it for the sleep study. I decided to start taking it again to see if it would go back to normal, as well as fix my sleep issues..

This was my single best night without the drug:


This is around five days after I started back on it.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you. Obviously it would be much better to have the machine treat your problem than to have take a drug to limit the centrals.
Good luck and do keep us posted on how things go.
