5.Losing Weight Can Help
Fact. You can make sleep apnea symptoms better when you shed even a small percentage of your body weight. If you’re carrying around extra pounds, talk to your doctor about starting a weight loss program. It also helps to quit smoking, so ask about treatments that can help.
6.Lying on Your Side Can Help
Fact. If you sleep on your back, gravity can pull the tissues in the throat down, where they’re more likely to block your airway. Sleep on your side instead to open your throat. Certain pillows can help keep you on your side. Some people even go to bed in shirts with tennis balls sewn onto the back.
