How often should you change your mask and hose?

I clean mine once a week...and change the hose and mask out every three months. Being retired Army, I get a new one every three months with my insurance.

Well, I had my follow up today and, as I expected, I have sleep apnea.

Those of you who are familiar with this are probably aware of a measurement call the AHI - which is a composite measure of sleep apnea. Anything over 5 is considered mild and anything over 15 is considered severe. I came in with a 29!

The machine has been ordered and, of course, awaiting approval from my insurance.

Get ready to get some much needed rest brother. I have had mine for about a year and half and feel so much better.
