@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, I ran across a webinar on YouTube and one of the people they interviewed has this implant because he could not use a PAP. I don't know what it takes to qualify for this or how many doctors do it. It won't hurt to find out. He has his done at a teaching hospital so I don't know maybe look in that direction. Hugs🤗

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member Thanks so much for your good advice. Yesterday I learned about a device that can be implanted for Central Sleep Apnea called The remedē System. is a treatment option for adult patients with moderate to severe central sleep apnea. The device is an implantable system that uses stimulation of a nerve in the chest (phrenic nerve) to send signals to the large muscle between the chest and abdomen (the diaphragm). As Dee said, don't give up there are options to help you and it is so important to treat your sleep apnea. 🤗

My son and myself both were diagnosed with sleep apnea, no medical suppliers in our area have them since the big recall on them few years back, we keep being told between the recall and covid they had big supply issues, not sure what we are supposed to do. In my case I had one 10 years ago could not sleep with it I felt like I couldn't breathe with it on
