PLEASE keep in mind I am not an MD (although I do have a scholarly appearance). However, your sleep study should differentiate between obstructive and central apnea (obstructive apnea has respiratory effort but no air flow because your airway is blocked by your tongue. Central apnea sleep studies show no inspiratory efforts. As far as the mask is concerned, CPAP is not of much help if you do have central apnea. Please consult with your doctor. Thanks for the question!
