Other measures than can help but must be obtained through your physician are a CPAP or BIPAP device to keep the airways open during sleep by forcing air in through your mouth and nose while worn or a surgical procedure that inserts tiny rods into the soft palate to stiffen it and prevent its collapse during sleep, leading to apnea.
