It is important to follow the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider, which may include using a CPAP device on a long-term basis. If you are using CPAP therapy and are experiencing good results, it is generally recommended to continue using it
If you stop using CPAP therapy, you may once experience apnoea events. For most people with Sleep Apnoea, CPAP therapy is a life-long treatment.
