Can you post any medical results of recent testing so people have an idea what you're working with? Look at other notes to see what others are doing with which results (which is not to say we won't help with yours).

We don't have enough information to offer anything but generalities.

The type of machine a person needs is going to depend on the diagnosis and pressure needs.

If you have just plain jane vanilla obstructive sleep apnea that's one thing but if you have central sleep apnea or a mix of types of apneas then you may need a totally different model of machine.
