I've recently had an MRI and a sleep study, and my doctor started me on Leverage 500. They also mentioned using APAP or BiPAP if needed. I'm a bit confused about when I should actually start using APAP or if I should switch to BiPAP. How do I know which one is necessary for me? Can you help clarify this?
