Is there anything i can get from the grocery store or drug store for my obstructive sleep apnea until i can see a doctor?

No: Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that is related to things such as being overweight and certain characteristics of your throat ad airway passages. The treatment is based upon getting more air into your lungs. There is nothing that you can buy before you have a formal evaluation by the doctor.

Sleep apnea: 10-20 lbs weight loss can significantly reduce the obstruction. You could also quit alcoholic beverages.

No: Do not try any of the over-the-counter oral mouthpieces. They may create some major TMJ/TMD issues.
