Hi I just heard the ad for this site and logged right in. I'm 43 yr old and have been using a CPAP machine since I was 27. Sad thing is that I only got a new machine 3 yrs ago because the original specialist told me I didn't need follow up after the 6 month check up even though I specifically asked about follow up. Things have been much better but I've recently noticed I hold my breath instead of exhaling so I'll be talking to my doctor about this new thing.
