Hi everyone,

My wife and I think she might have sleep apnea, as she has some of the symptoms (at least we think they're symptoms - we read them on Wikipedia).

Even though we think she might have it, my wife refuses to get diagnosed - largely, I think, out of fear of having to use a CPAP machine.

My wife has had panic attacks in the past, and she also feels claustrophobic easily. So the idea of sleeping with a mask on her face completely freaks her out.

I have a question that has probably been asked on this forum many times before, but I'll ask again anyway: is there a "natural" cure for sleep apnea, or any kind of natural treatment that reduces its severity? The reason I ask is that my wife has always been into yoga and asian-type remedies, so I think she'd get diagnosed if she know there was a natural alternative to CPAP.

Thanks very much for your help,

Mark MacDonald
