IN SLEEP APNEA THERE IS LESS OXYGEN TO PARTS LEADING TO SYMPTOMPS FOR SUPPORIVE THERAPY WE CAN USE MEDICINES
BUT GO FOR SLEEP STUDIES TO FIND THE CAUSE AND TREAT IF OBSTRUCTION CLEARING OF OBSTRUCTION CAN CURE
IF NO OBSTRUCTION OR DISEASE THEN YOU NEED TO ADD CPEP MACHINE TO REGULATE THE OXYGEN SUPPLY TO BODY PARTS
