See your provider: You can get a referral to a sleep specialist or perhaps your PCP can help you with all of these including ways to get the weight down. It's possible to stop the problem - then you can ask them why. Best!

See a specialist: Treating obstructive sleep apnea is a life and death decision! Sleep and oxygen deprivation can trigger severe health problems and decrease quality of life due to Obstructive Sleep Apnea. See a sleep specialist for PSG study and proper treatment. Do not procrastinate.
