What Can I Do?

 There are a number of treatments for sleep apnea. Some involve surgery and some don’t. Depending on the situation and the severity of the disease can help determine which of these treatments would be best in each situation.

Change Your Behavior

In some situations behavioral changes can be all that is needed to overcome the symptoms of sleep apnea.

• Losing weight can make a big difference. Even a 10 percent reduction can reduce the occurrence of sleep apnea. 
• Avoiding caffeine, alcohol and sedatives have proven an effective means of helping apnea sufferers. 
• Changing ones sleeping habits by changing the position in which a person sleeps can sometimes make all the difference.

But if none of those works then it is time to consult a physician.
