Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by serafinichess: I recently had a sleep test and it was determined that I just barely fell short of having sleep apnea, so I…?
don’t qualify for CPAP apparatus. But since I still have problems breathing during sleep and often wake up very tired, does anyone know of any other apparatus, mask, etc which could help me?

Try dental devices, but they are expensive. Sleep apnea pillow is a solution, but you should try first if you can have a good night sleep if you sleep on your side rather on the back..

Or, you should find a different mask. A full-face mask or nasal mask. Try it before you buy.

Good luck!

He snores, stops breathing, and then starts breathing a few seconds later after choking. It is really loud and he doesn’t get a good night sleep because of it. It’s awful trying to sleep anywhere near him because it is so loud. Any advice on OTC or natural options? What works the best? He will hopefully visit a doctor soon to take care of it, but we’re both in college right now and he doesn’t have a lot of spare time to find a doctor and get an appointment.
