Prior ent exam saw no obstruction relating to sleep apnea. today diagnosed with/apnea & low oxygen level. does this mean i have central sleep apnea?

Sleep Study: A sleep physician will order a sleep study that will clarify your condition. CPAP is the usual initial treatment, but your sleep physician will be the one to decide what course of treatment to follow. Low O2 is a serious condition which requires immediate treatment so don't delay.
