Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine can be purchased or rented at medical supply stores. A CPAP machine is similar to oxygen where a mask is placed either over the nose or the entire face. The machine blows humidified air through a tube connected to the mask, so the person receives a continuous breath of air. CPAP machines are small, so they are portable.

Dental appliances, similar to a mouth guard, are worn overnight and hold the person’s tongue and jaw forward, preventing blockage of the airway. Dental appliances are effective, but should not be used on individuals diagnosed with TMJ (temporomandibular joint).

A cause of sleep apnea may be due to a sinus infection or stuffy nose. Over-the-counter nasal decongestants or breathing hot steam from a shower are effective for reducing nasal swelling.
