Q&A: Sleep apnea???

Question by Raven M: Sleep apnea??? Are there any exercises (oral) that a person can do to strengthen their neck muscles & mouth muscles, to help stop sleep apnea? Are there any books on this subject? There has to be another way of helping this condition other than operations. (yes I am working to lose weight) Thanks!

Hello, I'm sorry you've OSA. No. There aren't any exercises to firm up your airways. You do need to lose extra weight. That can minimize/eliminate symptoms. There are expensive dental appliances of minimal use. Standard therapy is by C-PAP machine. These machines are wonderful now. Years ago, they were horrible. Please look up sites on this, & educate yourself. OSA kills. Don't be a victim. Good Luck.
