They said I was difficult. I have BiPAP and it was 100% covered because I am in Canada and on Disability. But I am not having success so far. Sure I get better quality sleep but at shorter instances with the BiPAP than with nothing. I wake every hour and I got sores on my face, get leaks around my nose, and now have a very sore throat and my tonsils are inflamed. I am so exhausted and wondering if anything will work. I just got this machine less than a month ago and so many issues. Also I am told I might have chin drop so might have to also get some sort of neck brace for sleeping with the full face mask I use. I just want to sleep.
Thanks for this great video, Please i want to Ask you, i have a Philips DreamStation BiPAP S/T, can i use it as a simple CPAP? Also, can i use as a VNI? Thanks a lot
Because its mostly to do with the brain rather than an obstruction, can be from excessive drug/alcohol use, but then even the CPAP can cause these due to breathing irregularities, if you have problems with nasal or jaw these could be contributing to the CSA.

Yeah, that strap that's supposed to hold your chin up doesn't work either.

Does this help central sleep apnea? I heard there is nothing you can do for it.

I have CSA and OSA and am on BiPAP. Seems I have more central than obstructive.
BiPAP machines with ST or ASV mode work well for a lot of CSA patients. Your doctor might be able to help here.
Good
You can change your settings! Lol TH-cam it the lanky lefty
Yep. He also has more to say about the difference between CPAP and BiPAP, he seems to be better informed than this person
Ya but doctors don't want you to know that in case you screw up your care. ;)
"you wont be able to change the machines pressure level yourself", uhh i disagree LOLz
This video shows that you are not using a bpap machine!
