Hi doctors. Are there any newer treatments for sleep apnea that do not require that bulky CPAP machine? I am a side sleeper but I start off as a back sleeper, and I am extremely concerned about maneuvering and quite possibly breaking the CPAP machine?

A member asked:

Can septoplasty cure sleep apnea? I've been using a cpap machine for a couple of years. I hate it. My doctor wants me to have a septoplasty for my deviated septum, but she won't say whether it will cure my sleep apnea.
