I have mixed apnea with primary central due to a damaged brain stem.
The use of a timed bi-pap with added oxygen has had me sleeping through the night for many years.
My health was very bad so I needed a temporary trach to begin recovery. Later it was determined that I must keep the trach which has been a blessing for me.
been trached for 16 years and have a new sleep study whenever it is called for by the insurance company.
I am doing very well now in the apnea department but do have other physical problems which have been getting worse through the years.
