Have Sleep Apnea, Snore Loud, Advised Machine To Treat BP Problem. Can It Be Corrected With Surgery?

I have sleep apnea and have been told I need the machine to treat my blood pressure problem. My wife says, I snore loud every night and she wakes me when I stop breathing. Do you recommend the machine for this or should I find a doctor that will do the surgery need to correct this instead of buying the machine.
Thanks
Cliff

Hi, it appears that you have sleep apnoea, and also have hypertension, which is causing sleep apnoea, snoaring etc.
It depends upon the hypertension, if it is not at all responding to medicines, you can opt for other measures. your hypertension is under controle or not, whether you have used any medicines or not. Try to controle B.P by medicines, if cant get controled you can opt other measures.
Thank you.
