Central sleep apnea is when the brain does not tell the body to breath. They treat it with bipapST. The machine will take a breath for you if you do not. Cpap will not work

you will need to maintain a healthy BMI (lose weight till you’re within your normal level), avoid a pillow, and use a CPAP machine. use a nasal rinse & see your doctor. have the DME company check the machine to ensure it’s working properly and/or that you’re using it properly.
