re: Cpap-sleep apnea technology has a huge tech cheaper change

I was diagnosed with Central Sleep Apnea a year ago and my journey to fix it has been extremely frustrating.

First I did a home sleep study where it was determined I had CSA.

Rx’s an APAP with a variable range. Didn’t work, actually slept worse.

Next they tried various constant pressures. All the while I’m getting worse sleep.

They have me do an in-lab sleep study. Worse sleep I’ve ever gotten and I’m sure the only viable info one could get from it was this guy is now out $750.

All the research I see seems to say I need an ASV since I have Central Apnea and not obstructive, yet my Respiratory Therapist says I can’t get one through insurance unless I go through all these steps.

Currently in limbo because I can’t bring myself to use the APAP that I know isn’t working and I physically dread putting it on as I feel like it is suffocating me.

Any idea if it’s possible to bypass insurance and buy an ASV machine? And if using one without monitoring by a professional is potentially dangerous?
