Central Sleep Apnea & Myasthenia Gravis
I have placed a thread on the Myasthenia Gravis site, but thought I would share on this site as well....I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea in the early 90's as I took a sleep study at a Desert Storm physical. I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in November of 2006, three months before retiring from 41 years of military service. My apnea has gotten much worse in the past year. I have had two sleep studies in the past month that diagnosed central and obstructive sleep apnea and received my Bi-Pap last week. The physician has started me off with a pressure of 10/18. I have documents from Mayo Clinic that state that Myasthenia Gravis can be a cause of central sleep apnea. Has anyone else had diagnoses that suggest that a neurological disease/disorder can cause central sleep apnea?
