A reminder - their are two types of sleep apnea - obstructive and central.

A CPAP machine does work for obstructive apnea. Its effectiveness against central apnea is less clear, though additional oxygen through higher air flow is always a plus.

IANAD, but the arguments I have had with my GP have been instructional for both positions.

Happy wandering

Fred
