The most effective and widely accepted treatment for sleep apnea is positive airway pressure therapy. It does not involve drugs or surgery. A bedside device gently delivers pressurized air via a mask to keep your upper airway open.
Treatment options: 
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) provides one constant air pressure all through the night
- Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) therapy automatically varies the pressure all through the night and from night to night. It actively responds to the continuous changes in your upper airway
- Bilevel therapy provides a higher pressure when you breathe in, and a lower pressure when you breathe out
