If you think you have sleep apnea, getting an official diagnosis through a sleep study is important if you want your health insurance to pay for treatments. Most sleep studies can be done at home. Also there are a few alternatives to CPAP that you could try. Leaving sleep apnea untreated is very dangerous to your health. Unfortunately there is no cure and treating this condition takes a lot of trial and error until you find something that works for you. Luckily I found a sleep specialist in my area who is helping me with this process. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this, I know it won’t be easy but don’t give up because it is worth treating and you will feel so much better when you start having restful sleep.
