When you have both it is “Complex Apnea.”
I was diagnosed with it 3 years ago and have been using a BIPAP machine ever since - the quality of my sleep has improved tremendously.

They really don’t understand the cause of central apnea. There is a saying in medicine about spinal vertebrae..... break C4 and breathe no more.

Must have something to do with the brain stem area around c4.
