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?
