Hello,

My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea after taking an over-night sleep study. He has yet to have his follow-up appointment (the sleep tech told him his results), but I was wondering what to expect in terms of treatment? I take sleep issues much more seriously than he does (I have idiopathic hypersomnia), and want to be prepared and help him do the things he needs to do to feel better. I know sleep apnea can be very serious.

Is it likely he'll need a CPAP machine? If so, what's the ball park cost of those?
Are there any exercise/diet changes that could help?
Are the effects of treatment felt soon after the beginning or do the effects gradually appear?

Thank you for any information you can give me.
