ASV has failed for me

Post by sickwithapnea17 » Tue Oct 27, 2015 6:29 pm

I have my ASV set on max tonight to treat the centrals, but it doesn't seem to work that well unless I take trazodone and possibly another sleep drug. and that might damage my brain by narrowing blood vessels.

I have a 2.5 min ps, max ps 19, epap 6-10cm. I don't know I need surgery I think and am thinking of a trach

anyway I am having issues finding a surgeon to do a trach larger than a 6mm and it is horrific to suffer for so many years. I even went deaf from trying all kinds of medications

To newbies who are unfamiliar with this poster... take it all with a grain of salt as there's something new every six mos, then he goes away and comes back with more and it all goes round and round... no beginning and no end, but always dramatic.

Never said you lie... just... something else. And how do you know my name's not real - at least it's a name SWA!

I was always under the assumption that SWA was of the female gender.........
Do we know for sure which one?

Maybe not, come to think of it... I always thought 'man', but I don't know why now if I ever knew.

I've always thought N/A meant, I'm not sure, male or female? Willing for change, or want a T.V. series. Jim
