My Dad goes to his sleep clinic appt tomorrow and I wanted to get some insight and advice from other PALS before.
He did an over night sleep test last week and found out that he has sleep apnea. Tomorrow he goes to pick up a machine from Mainland Sleep. The sleep technician said he should start with a CPAP but when he asked the neurologist at his trial appt he said he would suggest getting a BiPAP.
My question is are any PALS here using a CPAP or have sleep apnea?
What would others suggest based on your knowledge and experience?
His SVC was just checked and at 83% so breathing is not an issue just needs a machine for sleep.
Thank you for your help!
