Are there any causes for OSA which cpap wont fix

Posted by wolfgang on January 21, 2002 at 01:09:17:

Because of my circumstances I must go to an ENT doc before I can be referred to a sleep doc!!! I would like to know if out of the many different reasons for air passage blockage there are any which cannot potentially be fixed with CPAP treatment.
I am SO exhausted after many weeks of nearly total insomnia that I am incapable of making a rational decision about surgery. Actually in my position there is only one decision NO I am a music teacher who needs to be able to play wind instruments and sing! Also I have a phobia of invasive medical procedures.
