I may have missed it because it is too important that the reason to get a C PAP machine is because sleep apnea is a silent killer. The individual goes to sleep, and they never wake up because they stop breathing while they sleep. Contact your doctor and ask for a sleep study as soon as possible, it is that important. ammo6998, creek chub, ShrekTheTank and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
