Treating Sleep Apnea: A Review of the Research for Adults
Excerpt
A doctor said you have mild, moderate, or severe “obstructive sleep apnea,” or OSA. People with OSA may snore and stop (or “pause”) their breathing a few or many times when they sleep.
You are looking for ways to treat your sleep apnea and want to know what research says about your options.
You are an adult. This guide does not cover treatment for children.
