Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Advair Diskus is only helpful of there is sleep apnea secondary to Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease (COPD).
If there is spasm of respiratory tract this would help else won't
A good drug with promising response in Sleep Apnea is Modafanil. Discuss with your doctor about that
In practice I don't recommend Advair Diskus in cases where is no COPD.
If you have any further query please ask me.
