I was diagnosed at the tender age of 32 with a pressure of 17. That was 22 years ago and as far as long term effects I cannot fall asleep without the air blowing up my nose. Other than that, most days I awake refreshed and am real happy that this therapy was available for me as my 02 levels were in the sixties. For all of you newbies, it does get better!!!!!
