There are a number of treatments available for those who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. For mild cases of sleep apnea, your medical doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as losing weight or quitting smoking. If these changes do not improve the symptoms of sleep apnea, or if you suffer from moderate to severe sleep apnea, other treatment is required. Sleep apnea treatment methods can include:

Sleep Apnea Treatments

• Oral appliance therapy
• Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
• Adjustable airway pressure devices, such as bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP)
• Expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP)
• Combination of oral sleep device and CPAP
• Surgery
