Symptom: Your symptom is consistent with sleep apnea. It will take some time after starting treatment to see results. Day time hyper somnolence is typical. If you are overweight, losing weight will help as well.

PAP machine: Losing weight is imperative. In the meantime . You may wish to use a C-PAP machine at night to get uninterrupted sleep and prevent day time sleepiness. Wish you good health!
