Do you really need a sleep apnea machine for mild sleep apnea? You probably should take a look at your actual results. I was diagnosed with the same thing and then I asked for the results... turned out I was just over the line for sleep apnea... I think the bottom number was like 75 and I was 79. (but like mild was 75 to 125) The actual opinion said that several of the apneas they counted were likely me getting up during the night to use the bathroom. So it said right in the materials I likely wasn't mild but they had to score it that way to be conservative. My doctor never read it.
My brother got a c-pap from the VA and now he feels that there was just a big push for this particular diagnosis and he doesn't have it.
I definitely think that if you have a mild diagnosis you would question it.
