Weight loss: Sleep apnea may be due to obesity, or anything that can cause obstruction to the airway (enlarged tonsils, short neck , obesity etc...)weight loss, removal of an enlarged tonsil can help reduce the problem, however when sleep apnea is diagnosed the doctor usually prescribes a cpap( continuous positive airway pressure) machine to help keep open the airway during sleep.

Mechanical: This condition is caused by many things that narrow your upper airways. The simple treatments are such things as nose strips, etc., but often don't work. The proper treatment is to see a lung specialist, have some formal testing and then proceed to do such things as lose weight, avoid alcohol, exercise and probably use breathing devices such as cpap.

Sleep Doctor: You need a complete evaluation and testing by a board certified sleep doctor. Many causes, many treatment.
