Our expert may first recommend you try certain lifestyle changes to see if that has any effect. These changes can include quitting tobacco, avoiding alcohol, and getting more exercise. If you are currently taking any medications, our doctor may suggest altering your dosage since some medications can trigger sleep apnea symptoms. In cases where neither of these work, you may be prescribed an oral appliance that will gently move your lower jaw forward so that air can more easily flow through your airways.
More severe cases may require a CPAP machine to maintain positive airflow while you sleep. Only in extreme circumstances will surgery be necessary. Although there is no cure for sleep apnea, your symptoms can be alleviated through the help of our expert.
