[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 702006, member: 1399"] Being overweight is probably why there is a rise in Apnea cases, another reason is probably it becoming more known and people now understanding why they been tired all them years. There is two types of Apnea one is physical and has to do with skin in the throat and the other is mental and has to do with brain waves telling us to breath (something like that). Me I own my machine, when I was first diagnosed I had no insurance I was one of them younger people who thought my money was better spent on boats and motorcycles. So I have always just bought my machines, first one cost me out my butt because I was ignorant now I have learned that Cash speaks if you tell them you are paying cash and will not be an insurance claim. Big mark up for insurance and Medicare on the machines. The upside is the machines will last forever they are very well built as is most medical equipment. My original machine still works after almost 20 years of every night use. Advice I can give is get a humidifier that comes on most all of them now, dry nose is a big problem with out it. And then look into the various mask types until you find one that works for you. I have used the nose pillow types for many years now. The old school mask types let out to much air and bothers me when sleeping. There is many types and designs of nasal pillow mask out there and most are all good! [/QUOTE]
