Anne, having a severe case of sleep apnea ended me up in the hospital last August when my CPAP machine broke and I couldn't get it replaced. (I owned mine then!) After 3 weeks without it and no good rest I went to the hospital with pneumonia directly related to having no CPAP machine. Got a new one and have never felt better since. I bought a finger monitor I can slip on anytime I want to, which tells me the oxygen level in my blood. The more weight I lose the less I need the CPAP at night when sleeping.
