Now, I have just undergone two sleep studies which have diagnosed me with both central and obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep center told me they strongly recommend a machine for anyone scoring over 5 on their apnea scale. My score was 29.5. I received my Bi-Pap this week with a pressure of 18. I am wondering if the central apnea (neurological) has any connection to the myasthenia gravis. I am still working and almost fall asleep each evening during the 20-minute drive home.
