Looking to buy an ASV machine

I am a longtime sufferer of apnea. I tried CPAP therapy around ten years ago but got less sleep using the machine than without it. After spending many hours doing apnea-related research on Reddit, I realized that part of the problem must be that I have complex, mixed apnea. Treating the central sleep apnea is apparently more difficult and requires a different machine. I really wish someone at the sleep lab a decade ago would have mentioned that this might be why I failed CPAP therapy in the first place. I have now come to the realization that medical professionals might not be very interested in actually helping us so I am going to help myself.

Your conclusions are likely incorrect. Care to post why you believe:

• had complex, mixed apnea, and how severe it was
• why it caused you to fail

If you had trouble tolerating CPAP 10 years ago, you will likely have a greater difficulty with ASV.
