Answer 1

1 in 5 adults suffer from sleep apnea. It can be very dangerous so if you suspect sleep apnea is a problem it's best to see a doctor immediately.

The question is about home remedies. This is not medical advice only a few possibilities to lessen the symptoms of sleep apnea.

Lose weight - eat less and exercise more
Lower blood pressure
Stop smoking
Stop the cause of heartburn
No alcohol or sedatives before going to sleep.
Keep regular sleeping times - sleep on your side
Raise the head of the bead
Dental appliances can sometimes help
Use a humidifier
Keep sinuses clear
Stablize blood sugar

Sleep apnea can affect anyone at any age, even children. However, risk factors include:
* Male gender
* Being overweight
* Being over the age of forty
* Having a large neck size (17 inches or greater in men and 16 inches or greater in women)
* Having larger tonsils
* Having a family history of sleep apnea

In mild cases of sleep apnea, conservative therapy may be all that is needed. Conservative approaches include:
* Lose weight
* Avoid alcohol and sleeping pills
* Change sleep positions to promote regular breathing
* Stop smoking. Smoking can increase the swelling in the upper airway which may worsen both snoring and apnea.
* Avoid sleeping on your back

The most commonly performed surgical procedures for sleep apnea include:
* Somnoplasty: A minimally invasive procedure to reduce the soft tissue in the upper airway.
* Nasal surgery: Correction of nasal obstructions such as a deviated septum.
* Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): A procedure that removes soft tissue on the back of the throat and palate, increasing the width of the airway at the throat opening.
* Mandibular maxillar advancement surgery: Invasive surgery to correct certain facial abnormalities or throat obstructions that contribute to sleep apnea.

Answer 2

No not an apnea monitor. Those are primarily for babies and infants. First you need a sleep study and the doctor will prescribe a CPAP. You can't just order something off the internet for it. It is a serious disorder and you need a physicians guidance when using it. The pressure is prescribed and needs to be set by a Respiratory Therapist.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!
