There 's a ton of info out there but from my experience (yes I have sleep apnea), gold standard is CPAP Machine, surgery has a 50/50 chance of being successful. Most that have had surgery retuned to CPAP. Inspire, no thanks, infection, soreness back of tongue, must have surgery after 2 years to replace the battery within the device that is implanted in the chest. There are tests to measure blood oxygen levels, mine was at 65%, not good. Other pulmonary test are performed before they declare you have sleep apnea. Depending on the severity of the apnea, some, like myself, may use nasal pillows which provides much more freedom and movement in bed. Best advice is, "don't ignore it."
