re: Sleep apnea treatment options

I'm not ready to try surgery and I hate the god damn CPAP. I recently bought a Glideaway ComfortBase Ascend bedframe. It's an adjustable bed frame that allows me to tilt the bed as well as the standard head and foot adjustments. I went with the tilt base because I am a side sleeper and the head adjustment only fricks up my back, with tilt I can sleeping with my head up 6 inches or more and that has helped some. It's not a game changer, but I am getting better sleep.
Interesting, my BMI is normal so losing weight really won't get me anything, will have to look into this.

If you have a low BMI and moderate to severe ahi, you may be a could candidate for the new tongue stimulation (inspire). Think like a pacemaker for your tongue while you sleep.

This is an example of an airway.

Consider a dental option.
