Default central sleep apnea

Anybody been diagnosed with central sleep apnea (CSA)? Apparently it is different than sleep apnea in that there is no obstruction causing the inability to breath. Rather, the brain forgets to tell the body to breath. In many cases opiate drugs are to blame. I just completed a sleep study on Tuesday morning. I've been experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty catching my breath. One of the things the doc is screening for is central sleep apnea. Of course, I have to wait the requisite amount of time before I get any results.

Just wondering what others experiences are with CSA.
