For some people the CPAP doesn't work and carries some irritating side effects. The alternatives that are out there have been shown to be comfortable, inexpensive and effective for people's sleep apnea needs.

The sixth alternative for you to take would be sleep apnea surgery. UPPP surgery is what the procedure is called. This surgery removes excess tissues from the mouth and throat. Removing excess tissue helps open up the airway and helps prevent blockage. UPPP surgery can be risky and results are mixed. Many people find success with this procedure, but many do not. There are many painful side effects that are associated with this option. This can also be an expensive procedure.

There is a simple and special way to play this instrument that has been shown to work. These instruments can be found for as little as ten dollars and are simple to play.
