    Yes I do. Have used it over ten years now. It most definitely has helped with my heart palpitations. I would get those hard 'thuds' often when I wasn't using it.. I found out my heart was way enlarged. I lost about 120 lbs after going on CPAP but I think that was my own efforts, not magic CPAP. But I will tell you this... it made my whole life so much better I cannot believe I was so bull headed about going on it. Yes, it took time to adapt, and I have had a few ill fitting masks that rubbed sore spots.. but overall my life is so much better it is amazing. More energy, less anger and depression.. and I really never realized what it was like to get a good night's sleep before I went on it. So one day, I hope to have lost enough weight I can go off of it for good. But until then, I highly recommend to anyone with apnea, go ahead and get the machine.
