Central apnea--do i need drug or cpap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: You may need both or either one depending on how one may benefit you over the other. CPAP can still help central apnea but a bit more tricky. You should have more discussion with a sleep medicine doctor to get a game plan to improve your quality of life.
