Re: Nube looking for advice on settings and altitude

Sounds like you are in good hands at home. The hardest part of this journey is getting the diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Sometimes it takes so long. If, and this is a big if, the CA's that you are having prove to be true in the lab you may need a different machine to control them. Regular CPAP or AUTO machines do not treat centrals and may make them worse. That's why an in lab study is important. Talk with your Pulmonologist, show him your reports, and he may be able to justify the in lab study with insurance and get a sooner appointment.MJColorado wrote:For further clarification, I slept VERY restlessly last night and not so good on the other two nights. As to CSA, I do not use drugs, have no evidence or history of brain damage and just got a clean bill of health from a pulomonologist. I do live at 9000 feet but have lived at this altitude for several years. After last night's sleep, I slept for two plus hours with my head in the lap of my RN wife early this morning. (She is an angel for her patience with this.) Perher watching me that entire time: I snored a little, but had no apnea episodes at all. She said I breathed normally the entire time.
Any advice from anyone?
