BiPAP basically breathes for you. It has two different pressure levels - one for inhale, one for exhale. Most CPAPs
have a version of that where it drops the pressure during an exhale but the BiPAP drops it way more. From what I understand, a BiPAP can deal with central apneas (where the brain forgets to breathe) compared to the CPAP which deals with obstructive apneas (where your throat and soft palate block the breathing).

Did you go to your primary care physician or did you see a sleep specialist of some sort? I’ve been using a CPAP for 7
