Should I continue to use my airsense 10? I think I still will, because I really like the way it humidifies my nose, during the day I have much less nasal dryness and much less congestion. Are there any reasons NOT to use it if you don’t have OSA?

Apnea’s under control: still use machine?
I realize this is going to be a weird post but I’ll ask the question anyway. A year ago I had a sleep test done and came up with 28 apnea’s/hr, so I went on a CPAP machine. During the pandemic I focused on getting myself back in shape and I lost approximately 60 pounds, going from 290 down to 230. My recent sleep test done shows less than one Apnea per hour now, the situation is controlled and actually corrected.
