Understanding your concern. As per your query you have problem of sleep apnea. Well i would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper evaluation of report ,without any delay because sleep apnea sometimes leads to heart attack . Doctor may recommend CPAP machine to correct the problem. I would suggest you to
- Along with CPAP machine your should do light exercises.
- Also use humidifier along with CPAP machine , which will mosite the air and prevent the mucosa from drying .
