Whenever you experience joy, peace, security, equanimity or purity, it is only because you are aligned with ALMIGHTY.

I was diagonised with it, though I did not agree with the diagnosis. However, was forced to buy the machine with "grant" from the province, which I have never used for more than 1 day.

(IMO) The best way to solve Sleep Apnea is to reduce weight/excess fat and exercise as regularly as possible. Myself and my neighbour, we both lost over 20 lbs (in 6 months) and now both of have a better sleep (NO we don't sleep together..LOL). This is first hand information and I have not tried anything else, so cannot opine about the other methods.

Please note that if you have been to sleep testing center and clinically diagonised with SA, you might be forced to buy the machine or a customer fitted mouth guard. If you do not buy it and if your doctors reports to the ministry, there is good chance your DL will be suspended until you can prove otherwise.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Hirenbhai,
Thanks for your input, I am experiencing headaches in sleep, and often has nasal congestion, which has kind of prompted me to dig deep in to all of this.
I have not been to any sleep clinics as yet.

Have you got your self checked for acid reflux? Usually our diet and lifestyle causes this.

Control your diet by eating right foods - which means foods that have ph above 5.

For sinus issues getting aggravated in the night, try sleeping with your head atleast 5 - 6 inches above your torso. This can be achieved by putting a wooden block under your bed and use 3-4 soft pillows so that you raise your upper half of the body and not just your neck.

Also get this. very useful and no side effects. easy to use and shall give to relief.

Sleep apnea affects people with excess weight.... It is a disruption or inability to sleep due to obstruction of breathing..... Losing weight solves all problems....

Good to know there are many doctors here on this forum.

Sleep Apnea has nothing to do only with the weight. It is about breathing. You can have sleep apnea for number of reasons even if you are not over weight. If you are regular smoker, you have greater chances of having sleep apnea irrespective of your weight.

Thanks folks, I 've got the message , Loosing weight has to be my main aim , before getting in to any other sources.

Please share any tips to attain these goal.
