What are some alternative treatments for sleep apnea?
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
I was diagnosed with a mild form of sleep apnea. I have tried a CPAP machine and couldn’t adjust to it. My doctor said I wouldn’t be a good candidate for surgery. I’m considering a dental device (mouth piece), but wanted to know if there are alternative methods.
I’m in the same situation as you. I would see about the dental device. Anything has to be better than the CPAP.
