Is one worse than another one?

M$1 Answer
The sleep disorder called complex sleep apnea (CompSA) is a form of sleep apnea where central apneas carry on or appear during attempts to treat obstructive events with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level device.
The sleep disorder called central sleep apnea is one where a person’s breathing repetitively stops and starts while they are sleeping due to lack of respiratory effort. Obstructive sleep apnea is different in the fact that when a person has this, they cannot breath normally because of upper airway obstruction. Central sleep apnea occurs when your brain doesn’t send the proper signals to the muscles that control your breathing. Central sleep apnea accounts for less than five percent of sleep apneas and is less common.
