I realised that I suffered from Sleep Apnea many years ago from my partners. I have not done anything about it until recently. I went to see a specialist at KPJ and did 2 sleeping test and as a result I found out that it is true. My sleep apnea also cause my high blood pressure. This is because of the lack of oxygen in one's blood especially during at night when one stops breathing. I have heard people dying in their sleep.

To those who say this is due to obesity, it is not the only reason, stop giving irresponsible advice if you are not familiar with this condition. Obesity is one of it but I don't think I am overweight. I trained at the gym more than most of you do any exercise.

I am still contemplating to get the machine. I am looking at Resmed and Phillips. The latter is cheaper but not so established like Resmed. The total costs has come down a lot. It is about RM5k for a good one and the machine is quite small.

You can claim EPF from account 2 to get this and also when you are doing your tax returns you can also deduct this (I think it's up to RM3K). Anyone wants genuine advice can contact me.

I agree, not all sleep apnea cases is due to obesity. Myself not overweight.

Resmed and Philips is good. I have both, Philips for use and the other as spare. I need to use APAP, otherwise next day I will be very tired. I can't afford to have APAP breakdown, that's why I have a spare. Some prefer Resmed due to EPR, easier to breath feature. Philips also have similar features (C Flex etc). Personally, I don't find much difference between two.

Very important is to get the right mask that fits you. Check if it will fit your face and no leaking.
