Sleep apnea cures

There are three possible sleep apnea cures:
· Natural cures,
· Surgical treatments,
· Non-invasive or therapeutic interventions.

Natural sleep apnea cures include

(if you have mild sleep apnea symptom, they should work):

· Minimal alcohol use, antihistamines, or tranquilizers.
· Make sure you get treatment for allergies and colds or sinus problems.
· Develop regular sleep habits, and especially make sure you get enough sleep at night.
· Gargle with salt water to shrink your tonsils.
· Try sleeping on your side or sitting up rather than sleeping on your back.
· Don't smoke or expose yourself to other irritants (such as dust or perfumes).
· Use an air humidifier by your bed side.
· Place bricks under the head of your bed to raise it.
· Try eliminating mucus-producing foods (such as dairy and bananas) for two weeks. Then begin eating themn again and see if you notice any differnces.

There are also small devices which can serve as sleep apnea cures that can be inserted into the mouth to help keep the airway open during sleep.
These devices help by either bringing the jaw more forward or by keeping the soft tissues up to avoid them collapsing and blocking the airway.

Sleep apnea cures: CPAP machines

If you are diagnosed with either moderate or severe sleep apnea, you may be told to use a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (C-PAP) machine as sleep apnea cures.

This machine literally blows air into the nose via a tube and mask -- to keep the airway open by with a constant level of air pressure.
There is another machine known as a Bi Level machine(Bi-PAP) that may be prescribed for very severe cases of sleep apnea.
This machine does the same job but with two different pressures of air that help the body breath in and out properly.

Since natural sleep apnea cures do not have much effect on moderate or severe sleep apnea, so most sleep apnea doctors continue to favor CPAP to stop sleep apnea. Or even worse, to prevent sleep apnea death.

Sleep apnea death - Sleep apnea death is closely linked with obesity, high blood pressure..
Stop sleep apnea without medicine - changes in lifestyle can stop sleep apnea...
