My dad passed from congestive heart failure. Snored like a freight train and stopped breathing at night. At least the CPAP has lowered that risk dramatically. 30 years ago it was “Do we need CPAP?”, now they are just getting it adjusted and tweaked to work better. My VA watcher for my CPAP stuff has my AHIs set at 5 per night and my pressures run 8-10. My mask fits very good with no leaks and I have become accustomed to sleeping in MOPP lvl 2.

...and almost dieing 3 years ago and loosing 40 pounds really helped my apnea.

Without CPAP I have a nominal AHI of 15. It is a mix of apnea (obstructive and central) and hypopnea (insufficient volume per breath). My worst AHI this week was 4.2 events per hour. Best was 0.5 events per hour. The "myAir" app is fed by a cellular data connection to the machine, so there is a record of use, seal quality, events. My machine supplier gets the data.

I do have one small complication. Her name is Penny. My mini dachshund sometimes sneaks a snuggle and kiss when I'm sleeping.
