Sleep Medicine Specialist Questions Sleep Apnea

Will I ever get rid of sleep apnea?

I have lost a lot of weight and I have gone from stopping breathing 40 times an hour to 17 times, do I still have to wear my mask?

Sleep apnea index of 17 is considered moderate slee apnea which needs treatment either by cpap or other options like oral appliances. You may need less pressure than before to control your sleep apnea.
