Prevent sleep apnea with weight loss and by limiting alcohol
If you suspect that you have sleep apnea, it is best to see your doctor. But there are also a few ways to manage or prevent sleep apnea from developing. This includes:
- Weight management, as obesity is one of the most common risk factors for sleep apnea
- Limiting alcohol consumption
- Avoiding or totally quitting smoking
- Treating congestion of your nose and making sure airways are open
- Changing your sleeping position, lying on your side instead of on your back
