I just received the Remedē implant. I’m really looking forward to my life getting back to some sort of normalcy. The last 2 years have been an absolute nightmare. The cognitive issues I’ve developed are not only embarrassing but life altering. I was told this was all due to the CSA.

Incredible. Cpap legend. Keep changing the world and THANK YOU!

I used to be able to fall asleep Within minutes. Now as soon as I start to fall asleep I wake up immediately while I'm dozing off because my oxygen is dropping I literally cannot fall asleep or stay asleep for longer than 3 or 4 hours at a time I feel like giving up. I used to only get this feeling after a night of drinking and it would only last a day or two I don't even drink anymore and haven't drank for almost a year and this just came out of nowhere and it's not going away I don't know what to do. I did a sleep study at home and now I'm waiting for my results

I am new to this and I just want to sleep and wake up restful. Thank you so very much. God bless.

Hey Jason, thanks for this info; very interesting. I’ve got really bad complex apnea (initial sleep study AHI was 116.) I’m on an ASV and it’s been very therapeutic but I had lots of trouble falling asleep because it was fighting my breathing pattern. I took your advice from an old video and changed my breaths-per-minute setting from 12 to AUTO and it made a world of difference. So thanks for that. In addition to the apnea, I also had a TIA and two years later an actual stroke. Since then they’ve discovered I have a PFO in my heart. The apnea, PFO and stroke are just one big shit sandwich of interrelated, interdependent conditions. I’m going to have the PFO closure procedure done and hopefully it’ll greatly improve my apnea situation. Depending on how that shakes out, I may need to get a sleep analysis from you. Sorry to write you this novel but I just wanted you to know that your videos are always entertaining and informative. I almost never comment but I always watch and I really appreciate you. Thanks man.

When my Central Apnea was diagnosed the study was done while sleeping on my back. 70 events. I never sleep on my back, rarely have. My CPAP routinely counts 5 or less while on my side. I’m a chronic nerve pain patient and I use Norco.

I believe I have self diagnosed CSA. Over the past few years what happens is that sometimes I awake in the morning with a feeling of sheer panic running through the entire body, not a mental anxiety or that I had a bad dream, just an undefined panic. Then noticed over a few months that after I fell asleep, I would have a dream and then wake up in a panic again, and find that I've only slept for an hour (Normally REM dreams start around 90 mins I'm told?) Last night I had insomnia and I didn't sleep a wink, but I think I caught what's going on this time, I felt the feeling of panic arising and thought it was anxiety for not being able to sleep, but then I noticed that I had stopped breathing! In deep relaxation I'd breath out, but then it just, stayed there, no motion. This was noticed several times during the 'night' which was really disturbing, I could not trust myself to keep breathing! Could this be true CSA?

i lost my air hunger about 2 years ago which means if i stop breathing there is no respond to my body and ihave sleep apnea without an obstruction and when i go to the doctors in my country they tells me go to a psychologist you are just represent this . please help about this thing.

Great video very interesting!

All GREAT information. Thank you!

So when i talk to people that have sleep apnea, then ask Which Kind? ofcourse they don't have any idea. I have Central, and really the only way i know this is Watching You.....you and these types of vids.... I understand most people have Obstructive, they might not even know what to call it other then Sleep Apnea. When i was diagnosed 10 years ago, I started to look for more info...and was lucky to come across You....thanks man... p.s..... one of my symptoms was waking up and having my head filled with mucus, which for years i was taking cold medication thinking it would help...ofcourse actually raised my blood pressure like crazy...

👏 well done vid! Thanks muchly.

This is really cool. Makes me wish there was a more effective version of the inspire for OSA. If there was an Inspire version that could pretty much guarantee an AHI of less than 5 and was safe for MRIs up to 3 Tesla, I would sign up tomorrow.

Thanks! All good info, and I needed it all.

Jason this video blew my mind…as always. Currently using the Remed Autoset 11 as we discussed in our consultation in July. with great progress! I have low AHIs (2-3), but also Central Apnea, (1-2), which based on your video I should disregard? Anyway, I’ll finally get Oscar and schedule another consultation. Thanks again! Burke.

Now on Remede.2 weeks in. l have tried, I did, to love my ASV for Central apnea,.I have taken so much of this truely..super dude's advice. I do ❤️ this guy . HE has got me though some tough stuff with the chuckle I NEEDED to stay 100% compliant. STill..MY Hubby WAS reporting I was sleeping RIGHT though the fart sounds leakage..poor guy. THEN LATER when sealed correctly ..full face.. I was waking up to the ASV ramp up..because it felt like a #@$% plunger on my face. Agrrrg. Now learning to breath with the implant..and to love it.

Just had a CRT because of suffering from the nasty RV pacing syndrome. Pacing Syndrome occours in a year or two with the old 2 lead PMs, leading to poor EF and CSA. The CSA index decreased to ~0.1 after CRT operation, before CRT AHI was 37.

Awesome video very helpful information

What about sleep apnea CAUSING heart arrhythmias and not the other way around?

Send this information to the las vegas va hospital for veterans with sleep apnea!

Years ago fear was that you could burn out phrenic nerve. Is there any possibility of that?

I have more Central & hypopnea than obstructive according to my Philips recall machine. So thick Buddy (lol) this video is a great learning experience. Pain meds must be the cause Lefty!

The remedē device is now MRI conditional, fyi!

My apnea machine always says i had 1-2 central per hour during night - is that normal? Do most people have ?

Can MCTD (lupus & scleroderma, polymyositis) affect my CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA & how, please?‼️💜💜💜

Good stuff, thanks

I’ve got central sleep apnea due to a brain injury from a car wreck. I currently use Bipap with full face mask but I struggle with slobbering in the mask when I’m on my side and dry mouth if I sleep on my back. This sounds very interesting.

FWI: ASV with symptomatic heart failure and LVEF

I'm on ASV. Seems like it would cover both pure and complex events. True? My doctor prescribed ASV because CPAP didn't work and centrals showed up after using Bipap

I have central apnea and hypo breathing and wrong breathing with short in long out and the like. But you have rained for over 8 minutes without breathing. Could that be true? But most are 1-2 min or less than that. I am 50 years old and had this at least from the age of 15. Probably got a high fever high enough to kill most people. I have an ASV machine and if I turn it on I must breathe at least 15 times in mine and it can breathe for me at 100%. Can't lie down respirator so set on 13 times and then it still often goes on and breathes for me. I always wake up exhausted and generally ill...My life is and has been terribly bad. Accused of being lazy and mischievous and more and not sick. It's hard to describe how bad I felt before the ASV machine. Having said that, I still don't feel well. Just not acutely ill anymore. But longing for death and to escape it all.For 4 years I have had ASV Philips dream blah blah reached. So untreated for about 30 years.Yes, my diagnosis is complex apnea......I have OSCAR and can see I have a leak all the time. 3 in leak to 3-40 I see in OSCAR and there in between then too. I have a leak all the time and can lie for example checking my 15 for 1 hour and peaks at 50 .I'm at the hospital but they do as little as they can and don't have ASV connected to them and they don't know my machine or resmed either.

Thanks for reviewing the Remede’ . I’m glad you like it. Basically I’m waiting on insurance approval . I’m probably going to get the device if everything is approved . ASV has not been much help. Also I’m probably going to participate in the Janus Feasibility Study. Thanks for this information 👍

12:40 To be fair they refer to "Deeper sleep" but I agree it's sneaky

is the device safe for MRI scans? or is the metal construction not compatible if you need an MRI scan?

I’m pretty sure I suffer from this as well as OSA. I will email you this week, I just got my Luna G3 I need you as my coach. 🙋🏻‍♂️🤪

I have an implantable defibrillator and heart failure. I believe I have CSA and am waiting for results from an in home sleep study. Can this unit be used with a defibrillator . Jim

Is this the same like one of those diaphragm pacemakers?

Centrals majority in REM and supine. In lab sleep test. A few scattered OSA rare. Hx mild HF. Heard ASV not good with that history but bi pap or c pap with co2 chamber? Any thoughts? Not on a machine yet AHI was 5 only slept 3 hours in lab due to outside road noise! Have PVC s and pacs when I wake up breathing fast. On beta blocker. Sleep disturb was 35 an HR in REM Thanks!

If central sleep apnea is caused by the brain or nerve signaling to the diaphragm to breathe, why doesn't it also happen in the daytime?

ASV is NOT recommended for people with heart failure, is the the same for Remede?

I hate my bipap machine and cant use it longer than 4 hours because I hate it so bad. The woman I got it from (lincare) says i have to use it for 4 hours a night so that's what I've been doing because I hate it so bad. I have an appointment Monday with my Dr and am gonna ask him about this.

What makes you think you can't have an MRI? I have a very similar nerve simulator for other reasons, and it just has to be turned off prior to the MRI.

How soon after an arousal will a central count?

Can pulmonary fibrosis effect apnea’s. I’m overweight so is there a weight range to have the central apnea device

So far CPAP reduced my central sleep apnea a lot. went down from initial 58 AHI to currently 1.6 AHI under CPAP. Hope it remains like that. any experience from others with this? @thelankylefty27 Also what I don't get: I suddenly had several attacks of atrial fibrillation beginning of this year despite im only 35 and healthy. My heart brain and other organs have been checked including MRI and nothing came up. everything fine... really strange. either it's hereditary or covid destroyed something in my body...

Would have hoped that you mention the case of central apnea which is introduced by the CPAP therapy. I have the impression that this something which affects many more people like "pure" (typically heart-related) central sleep apnea. I am fighting with my therapy. As soon the pressure get's too high (which is not that high in actual numbers, a pressure above 5 or 5.6 is already high for me) my AHI goes up and reporting a lot of central apneas (up to 50%). I also see the typical increasing and decreasing breathing pattern for a large part of my sleep. I now stopped with CPAP, because my AHI with CPAP is between 12 and 24. That is basically the same like my untreated AHI... :-/ But I feel totally "foggy" and can barely function at the moment. Would ASV be a solution for that possibly?

What are your thoughts on Inspire, it was recommended for my apnea.

When I go to your website it says The future home of something great. Is the site down?

How much does it cost?

Very interested in learning about Complex and/or Centrals only. 🙂

I’ve been diagnosed with csa from two in lab sleep studies. My doctor prescribed a BIPAP machine and I’m on my first week with no improvement. My AHI is still over 35 and I’m still feeling poorly. Not sure why I have to endure the BIPAP while a better alternative is out there (ASV). Hopefully I’ll be able to get a ASV sooner than later.

There is no way that I would submit to a Remede type device. This to me, is an experiment and I was once a lab rat in 1987 when I allowed the doctor to perform a Uppp surgery on me and guess what, it does not work. I also have many problems without that tissue that was removed from my airway. I will never submit to being a test case, again. Then there is the ASV device which friends have told me they can't deal with the excessive leak rate involved with those very expensive devices. I really need to loose weight, so this Thurs when my doctor reads my sleep study and finds central sa, I can't go with the human testing ideas at my expense. It will be keto dieting and fasting for me. Maybe with the reduced belly fat, I won't have so many false readings on my sleep study. No matter what, I will never be a lab rat again. By the way I really appreciate LankyLefty27's YT site. Great information for us rats.

You sure are handsome. Dang
