Different doctors have their ideas. Some are for surgeries and other are for CPAP.


I have been the surgery route. Sometimes it depends on the ability of the surgeon.

Immediately following tonsils etc. I could not blow up balloons for decoration at birthday parties. That has changed. I can blow up balloons. If you go the surgery route you may need to have a surgery for each obstruction.

CPAP just increases the pressure difference between the tip of the nose and the interior of the lungs, but it works for some and not for some.

Best of luck whatever you choose.
