Obstructive sleep apnoea occurs due to multifactorial causes. Apart from structural obstruction, one of the major contributing factors is overweight. Weight loss can improve the symptoms to quite some extent. Rest complete evaluation will help find out the locations of obstruction, for which appropriate management, either CPAP machine or surgery, might be undertaken. Medications cant help u in solving sleep apnoea.
