It depends upon the cause of sleep apnea. Some people have sleep apnea because they are overweight. Solution: lose weight. Some people have sleep apnea because of nasal/septal defects. Solution: have surgery. There are medical treatments though to help a person breathe freely at night. One is called a CPAP machine. Discuss with a pulmonologist what are the causes and treatments for specific forms of sleep apnea.
