Hello guys. First time being here. I have been using Auto CPAP Dreamstation 1 (replaced recently by Philips) for a year but not often due to discomfort. Recently I have started it again and I found I have around 50% of the AHI caused by Central Apnea. Does it mean I should have Cpap / Bipap/ ASV instead of the current Auto CPAP to have a better cure?
10 years ago(in hospital): AHI 15
Few days ago(Resmed Apnea testing) : AHI 2.8(this doesn't seem true for me as my sleep has been terrible in most days) with respiratory disturbance index, RDI 7.2
Attachment1: Sorry that I don't know how to set the display language in English.
Attachment 2: Resmed Apnea testing report
I have a terrible sleep. Please help!

That could be a sign that a standard Auto CPAP may not be the best fit. Auto CPAPs are mainly designed for obstructive events, not central ones, and they can sometimes even worsen central apneas in some users

There has been no data presented that indicates central apnea.
