Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by : my dad snores and has a lot of trouble sleeping.?
my dad snores and has a lot of trouble sleeping. I have done a little research and it looks like he has sleep apnea. The sleeping test is way to expensive and we don’t have the money. Is there any other way to get a test or one of those sleeping machines because he has been like this for years now and it is really getting to him. I want to help him. Is there another way? a cheaper test?

a cheaper option is go to a dentist and get him fitted for a TAP mouth guard. Basically, he will wear a mouth guard at night, the guard will bring his jaw a little forward making it that he cannot snore. This option is more comfortable and less restrictive, and works (in my opinion) better.

My husband has gained weight and sleeps on his back, would that have anything to do with the snoring?
