Your call. You could rent a CPAP machine & have it programmed by the doc who treats you. Try it for 2-3 weeks and if it makes a difference in your life continue. It may take a week or so to decide which device (nasal/face mask) is best tolerated. If not, take the equipment back.

A virtual consultation with HTMG is available to review the report. I would recommend an ENT appointment, blood testing to identify possible allergies and rinse nasal passages with saline prior to bedtime. If you are obese, discuss a weight reduction program referral with your PCP, eat a healthy diet and exercise. If you are overweight, sleep apnea may improve. Watch for HTN/DM. discuss CPAP
