sleep study

just a question i have apnea and have been using a cpap machine for over two years or so and i was wondering how often if at all should i get a new sleep study done. i ask because is there a chance that the pressure needs to be adjusted.

Re: lincare complaints

Re: question

humidity in my motel room runs in the 20 to 30% range and the temp is in the 65 to 70 range. the thing is that its baseboard hot water for heat. i think i will need to buy a humidifier. the humidifier setting on the machine is only set to 2 so i mean i can lower it but its already pretty low.
