ENT evaluation: An ENT evaluation for an oral appliance or UVPP (uvulopharyngoplasty) may help. All the best!

See sleep specialist: Home study is not always an accurate and conclusive test. Try oral appliance (MAD) with Provigil. As with any medication, rational pharmacotherapy, proper patient selection and the right clinical indication certainly play huge roles in the clinical outcomes. Take care.
