Am I the youngest who uses it?
Am I the youngest who uses it?
I am 36 and diagnosed with sleep Apnea. I never ever thought I am going to get hooked on to this machine. Is it common for people of my age that get sleep apnea?

I suspect I was born this way;
OK, hatched and metamorphosed.

IDK, but I suspect I needed one since age 10.Mitchandola wrote:I am 36 and diagnosed with sleep Apnea. I never ever thought I am going to get hooked on to this machine. Is it common for people of my age that get sleep apnea?

Re: Am I the youngest who uses it?
I'm 29 and just diagnosed. Not overweight at all either, very active. Suspect I've had it for years, probably my whole adult life.
Re: Am I the youngest who uses it?
Been using one since I was 49 and yes over weight and on pain meds. Think the pain meds are more of an issue then anything.

There are a number of children and teenagers who use it.

There are children that need CPAP. Childrens masks are available.

36 is young but not so young. I think it is more common for people your age to deny that sleep apnea is their problem.Mitchandola wrote:I am 36 and diagnosed with sleep Apnea. I never ever thought I am going to get hooked on to this machine. Is it common for people of my age that get sleep apnea?
I am reasonably certain I had sleep apnea in my teens but no one knew what that was then. So consider yourself lucky that you know at 36 and there is not a cure but relief at least.

Wish I'd a got one as a child.
They should have straightened my crooked toes too, that I had trouble all my life with.

Well, not so sad, now that there is hope for those little darlings to have the long, full lives we want for them.LSAT wrote:Cute...but...sadSusie Kay wrote:No, not by a long shot. https://www.google.com/search?q=cpap+ma ... 38&bih=503Mitchandola wrote:Mitchandola
Apnea is terrible--the treatment, though somewhat unattractive, is a MIRACLE.

We're a three pap family (my ASV, hubby's cpap and my kid's bipap). My daughter started using her bipap the year she graduated from college.
