Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sleeplessness and sleep apnea while being overweight. Well i would suggest you to consult ENT specialist , who may order sleep study and for proper evaluation of report of sleep study ,without any delay because sleep apnea sometimes leads to heart attack . Doctor may recommend CPAP machine to correct the problem. Doctor may also order nasal endoscopy and CT scan to rule out nasal polyp and anatomical abnormality . the symptoms can also occur due to conditions like post nasal drip , over weight or tonsillitis. I would suggest you to :-

- Along with CPAP machine your should do light exercises.
- Control your diet and lose some weight if you are overweight.
- Start do light exercises like yoga and meditation.
- Try on sleep on side .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
