    I now have also Central Sleep Apnea..but Dr says that my BIPAP

    is working for me just fine..trouble is i don't really sleep for long & takes me ages to actually fall asleep..so i hope he's right..which i'm sure he is as i think my Sleep Tech would have something to say..lol.

    liz4cps,  I saw your comment about not getting enough air.  If you would post it as a discussion perhaps we can give you some ideas.  We would need to know your pressure.  If you are on an APAP perhaps your lower number needs to be raised a bit.

    PS: Or I could cut and paste it as a discussion for you.

    We should suggest that to the manufacturers- an "I need more air" button. Glad to be friends.  Thanks
