A C-Pap will not help with Central Sleep Apnea. If the diaphragm stops pulling breaths, a C-Pap will not push air into the lungs. A C-Pap is designed to push air into the nose and out the mouth to keep the tissue from closing up.

I have CSA. For me, it is caused by bad neck position. My guess is that when my head is tipper forward and/or to the left, my upper neck gets inflamed. This inflammation interrupts the breathing signal. My CSA is under control because I am very careful about my posture when sleeping or resting. I used to stop breathing when awake, too.

I sleep flat on my back with a pillow curled up around the sides of my head so my head will not roll off to the side.

I get some of my best sleep in a recliner chair.
