Cpap, bipap, etc are gold standards, but weigh loss helps, altered medication can help-check with md.If you can't use cpap, an oral appliance like the tap may help.You need to see a dentist that specializes in sleep apnea.Often oral medicine will and dentists in sleep academy.

Sleep apnea: Custom made dental appliances have been approved as an alternative treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea. Seek out a dentist who has been trained in the neuromuscular technique to fabricate the most effective and most comfortable alternative.
