Isn't this what they call "Mixed Sleep Apnea" which i was pretty
much diagnosed with. I have some centrals. Am wondering what is
so "new" about this? Also, it's a bit confusing because a pressure
of 8 stopped my apneas in the sleep study, but at home on my
machine (AutoSet Spirit) I can't get very good numbers. My doctor
said that maybe the reason is that there are central apneas
happening. I still don't undrstand the test and the pressure of 8
stopping them though.
