Sleep apnea, if it’s been proven that you have it during a sleep study, can only be treated by wearing a CPAP mask at night when you sleep. Although going to a chiropractor has been known to help people with this problem.
The “gold-treatment” for sleep apnea is cpap therapy, but if you have a moderate breathing disorder, you can try the next behavioral therapy:
* try sleeping on your side rather than sleeping on your back as it can produces loud snores because of blockages.
* elevate the head when you sleep. This measure can alleviate snoring and make breathing easier.
* Use an air humidifier at nighttime to make the air moister.
* don’t smoke for at leas several hours prior to bedtime. Doing so, the smoke can cause the airways to tighten in the neck, worsening sleep apnea.
* maintain regular sleep hours. In my case, I had to quit my shift work job, to have a normal sleep.
* use a nasal dilator, saline nasal spray or breathe right strips to help open nasal passages.
Remember that this remedies are not so effective like cpap machine or dental devices. Weight Loss is also very efficient.
All you need is motivation.
I hope it helps!
