If I Stop Snoring, Does That Mean I Don't Have Sleep Apnea Any More?
I Was Just Diagnosed With Sleep Apnea. What Should I Do?
- Follow your doctor's directions for sleep apnea treatment
- Follow up with your doctor to make sure your treatment is working
- Do not drink alcohol or take medications that make you sleepy before going to bed
- Sleep on your side instead of your back
- Lose weight if you are overweight
- Quit smoking.
If you have a mild case of sleep apnea and follow these instructions, you may not need CPAP.
