Answer: There are numerous treatments for sleep apnea these days. One of the most effective is a breathing device you wear at night (it helps force air gently into your body, to help regulate your breathing and keep you from stopping suddenly). You should see a doctor to talk about options. They might recommend that you spend a night at a sleep clinic for a better evaluation of your problems.But even losing a little weight will help, so I hope that is definitely one of your goals! Regular exercise can make a big difference as well, and you may find you sleep better in some positions rather than others (i.e. on your side instead of on your back).Good luck and don't hesitate to see a doctor about this. Sleep apnea is actually quite dangerous and can affect your heart in the long-term. Don't monkey around with it!
