Suggest Treatments For Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Dear Doctor,
My fiance is suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, as per his doctor says. He mainlys suffers from severe headaches during the day which force him to sleep the moment they are induced. Also, he is not able to sleep for more than 3 hours per night.He just cannot fall asleep. The most recent symptom includes severe backaches. His stress levels can be described as high owing to work and other pressures. Could you please tell me what is happening to him? Is his condition curable? Is he going to die?
---Extremely worried
