There are several treatments available for sleep apnea. Talk to your physician. Yes, there are new treatments. I suggest you go to a sleep center for treatment. There is a great program in Atlanta, and another in Seattle. As for the "best" treatment, it is very individualized and depends on you.
just drink heavy and do alot of drugs
My father has sleep apnea, he uses a CPAP machine at night, it works well for him. I call it his "vador' mask.
There are a variety of treatments for sleep apnea, depending on an individual’s medical history and the severity of the disorder. Most treatment regimens begin with lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and medications that relax the central nervous system (for example, sedatives and muscle relaxants), losing weight, and quitting smoking. Some people are helped by special pillows or devices that keep them from sleeping on their backs, or oral appliances to keep the airway open during sleep. If these conservative methods are inadequate, doctors often recommend continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), in which a face mask is attached to a tube and a machine that blows pressurized air into the mask and through the airway to keep it open. There are also surgical procedures that can be used to remove tissue and widen the airway. Some individuals may need a combination of therapies to successfully treat their sleep apnea.
There is a surgery associated with sleep apnea or you can sleep at night with an oxygen mask on. Talk to your doctor though, you aren't going to get adequate advice off of Yahoo Answers.
I suggest looking into it as soon as possible, it changed my Father's life when he started sleeping with oxygen.
listin to music and sing alonge with it- it will take up the space in your frantic head so soon u will fall asleep. get a ipod for instance
Have a sleep study done, it's not very expensive. They can tell you what u do when you are asleep and help u corrected it, the above poster is correct, most people get a cpap, and everyone i know that has one has said it made such a huge difference in the way they feel during the day, just because it keeps your airway open for you, thus u get the amount of o2 u need and u rest better.
Sleep apnea isn't something that you can treat on your own. You would have to be under the care of a doctor. Both my mom and stepdad have sleep apnea and have to wear a CPAP machine when in bed. It seems to help even though my stepdad called my mother Miss Piggy when she got hers. Then 2-3 months later he had to have 1. As far as new treatments check the web and ask your doctor. The CPAP works wonders.
