Sleep Apnea
Swell-Tub:
I have had SA for a lot of years. Insurance paid for a CPAP rental and then after 18 months you own it. I got a RemStar Pro with a humidifier. Before that I had surgery on the vestibules inside my nose. That made it much easier to breath and was a pretty simple surgery. I really notice a difference when I sleep with the CPAP and the humidifier makes it so my throat is not so dried out in the morning. I let the hose hang down my side to keep air from escaping near the mouth. It takes a little practice with the straps and position of the air hose and you can make it through the night OK. Now my wife has started snoring but my CPAP drowns her out so I can sleep great. When I go on fishing trips everyone in the Condo knows where I'm sleeping.

Yes, it only took a couple of nights. It has adjustments that you are supposed increase slightly over a couple period but I maxed mine out the first night.

There are several different sleep appliances that one can be fitted with for sleep apnea and snoring as a possible alternative to CPAP. I have used a SUAD device in the past although I haven't been using it much lately.
But it is a good idea to see a dentist with experience in the area to see what might work best for each individual case.
