How Can Sleep Apnea Be Treated?
I am a 45 year old male, overweight, truck driver. I have sleep apnea and wear a cpap at night. Here lately from time to time I have a fluttering all across my chest area, on both sides and across the middle. It started only when I was lying down but now it does it when I am sitting also. No pain but SOB goes with it. I am also diabetic on medicine. Thanks

Hello,
Treatment for sleep apnea is CPAP. Weight reduction because it occurs mainly at night when we are totally relaxed and bronchospasm occurs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
