just got an ASV machine, took a couple weeks to get used to it and make some adjustments to the mask and my bedding situation but its working out well. now I know why my life has been so difficult the last 40 years. today woke up refreshed at 7am and had a fabulous and productive day. if you need help with CSA get help immediately

Great video. Really informative, thank you

[@tommythompson6156]

This is a general overview, not particularly compelling but most docs won't speak publicly at all on the subject so thank you BB !

I have had a dreadful snoring problem for several years. But now that I`m using this stop snoring treatment t.co/YwY3S24R2i my sleeping routine became so relaxing as it ever was. I truly like the guidelines and advises which can help me to do well the exercises everyday. I feel quite excited about continuing the routines. My snoring has vanished already. .

[@meryemelya217]

thank you soo much for this video, it has helped me a lot !

[@magnusenamd]

I have an ASV machine and I breathe 10 times in min. If you set the machine to 15 times in min that I need, the machine breathes for me 100% of the time. I can not have that at all. So even with a machine, I am at 50% too little in volume air with a machine. The machine has also reggaed with the setting of 10 that it breathes for me sometimes 90% of the time. I have also seen before the ASV machine with measurement that I did not breathe in 8 min. I have waited 2 years now to be admitted. Covid does the hospital says they are not allowed to take me in.

[@ensaerodynamics8615]

You know what causes CSA for some people? Nasal surgeries. They destroy nerves in the nose that sense airflow and provide feedback to the brain to drive the diaphragm/lungs in sync. I know because I had a Turbinectomy that destroyed my ability to sleep. Many others too with Empty Nose Syndrome from nasal surgeries cannot sleep.

[@magnusenamd]

I have done two nose operations where you drill larger nasal passages and you went into the sinus and removed something as well. I have the worst central apnea, says the doctor he has seen who is not stroke injured.

[@ohlssonster]

Is that true? I had a nasal surgery some years ago and now I have CSA it seems. Haven't been able to find more information on this topic. Would love to know more - how did you find out about this?

[@liammclin8560]

Thank you very much Dr. Bohner Very insightful

[@rabiaali707]

Thanks ..precise and easy to remember

[@wewiveslifechats5157]

Excellent information, thanks!

[@abhishekab1]

I was diagnosed with OSA during sleep study. However, when using CPAP therapy has resulted in instances of CSA increasing during night. So, what should I do?

[@tkapinosphotography]

Same happens to me. Itherws like other machines that change it's pressure when you breath that apparently help. Haven't tried it yet

[@michaeladams6050]

ASV MACHINE

[@kathyyoung1774]

I had a second sleep study and needed a BIPAP. CPAP didn’t help me at all. BIPAP does.

[@preetimittal2123]

Did you diagnoes with central apnea now???? Or switched to Asv??

[@preetimittal2123]

Plz reply did you switch to Asv??

[@mindofown]

Excellent Information, are there any breath exercises we could do before sleep?

[@wjniemi]

Well done, thank you.

[@jesusjimenezJAJG]

Sometimes when I sleep facing up I suddenly wake up gasping for breath and even after waking up I have trouble breathing and I feel like passing out. I have to stay awake for a few minutes and after that I have to sleep sideways. Could that be Central Sleep Apnea? It doesn't happen to me frequently and most of the times it happens when I'm stressed or when I haven't sleep enough hours the night before. I also have a feeling like my spine is been compressed and not enough blood is flowing through it, I don't know how to describe it.

[@Gravy_Master]

Professional doctors are typically better at answering these questions than KZbin commenters.

[@stevegladu1]

Absolutely, I have this problem which also leads to anxiety attacks. The cpap machine is not a cure all, but a large aid in this and has nearly completely eliminated my anxiety attacks.I also have to sleep on my side.

[@Cw-wi6uj]

Sounds like obstructive sleep apnea maybe the airways in your throat relax to much and you momentarily stop breathing if it doesn't happen I'd say that pretty much indicates it's not central as positioning doesn't fix central sleep apnea

Hi, after having covid istarted to suffer central sleep apnea. I'm really anxious. Can the hyperventilation before go to sleep generate central apnea? i could have even 20 ahi in the first 15 minutes but than the rest of the night goes pretty good, even without apneas!

[@caecita5910]

Hi! Im. Suffering of central apneas since three weeks ago... How are you going now? Is it getting better?

[@ginoginetti]

@@caecita5910 yes. I'm almost ok now It seems that covid infection created problems to my brain or to my nervous system. I think. I think it could be the same mechanism that deprives us of taste and odors

[@headspaceaudio7745]

@@ginoginetti listen, you gotta stop letting your corrupt doctors tell you you have csa for a virus they still can't isolate with dr mullis pcr test which he created and stated it is not to be used to diagnose clinical infections.

Can PTSD give central apnea?

[@froylandiaz4846]

I believe it does. I had a traumatic event happen to me a year ago and after that I’m always waking up gasping for air and and hasn’t really resolved itself. I also get faint electrical tremors when I start falling asleep.

Wow am I ever screwed then. My Dr sucks

[@giarcrednep]

Try stretching your Psoas muscle if you have central sleep apnea.

[@BlackMamba-lt8oe]

sir i want to ask a question, i stop breathing, and later i wake up and gasping for air is this central or obstructive sleep apnea

[@ajaytomy844]

@@BlackMamba-lt8oe It can be CSA or OSA,do you snore? If OSA is present,then most probably you will present with snoring,which will be usually loud,habitual and bothersome to others.

[@dinadantoniosmithson2923]

Can supplemental continuous flow O2, as provided by a concentrator, assist in decreasing CSA events, even if the O2 is used without PAP therapy?

I Tried o2 concentrator by itself it didnt help

[@maximuswedgie5149]

@@BlackMamba-lt8oe that’s terrible, I am sorry to hear that, here in the states it’s not guaranteed either, my overnight sleep study was going to cost me almost 10k out of pocket. And I have good insurance. Not sure why this is not covered World wide. I know I will most likely die in my sleep, it’s a scary thing.
