How is Sleep Apnea Treated? Treatment Options

Sleep apnea can be treated with lifestyle changes, oral appliances, breathing devices and surgery.  The goals of treating sleep apnea are to restore regular breathing during sleep and to relieve symptoms, such as loud snoring and daytime sleepiness. Without the benefits of treating sleep apnea you may be stuck with a negative impact on your life.

Treatment may reduce the risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Lifestyle Changes may relieve Mild Sleep Apnea:

·       lose excess weight

·       avoid alcohol, tranquilizers, sleeping pills

·       sleep on the side or abdomen rather than on the back

·       keep the nasal passages open at night

·       stop smoking
