I am convinced within that when sleep apnea is not a structural issue it is due to some type of defeciency, brain issue, or genetics..
I am sick and tired of the same " treatments" proposed out there which is basically cpap, or something akin, surgery etc..
What about the potential relationship between gerd and sleep apnea? which came first chicken or egg..
I am combing this forum for real alternatives other than surgery or a machine. I hope I find some..
Surely Science and medical community must be closer to figuring this thing out..
Fed up ,but not stupid.

This is a reply to # 2,046,307Have a close look at your breathing pattern, do you breath through your mouth or your nose or a combination of both? Much sleep apnea is due to mouth breathing particularly at night. Buteyko exercises has a significant effect on sleep apnea.
Ask someone to watch your mouth and tell you to shut it when they observe you mouth breathing. A simple test for nose function is: Can you fill your lungs as quickly through your nose as through your mouth? If you cannot your nasal passages are blocked because of your mouth breathing. To open up your nasal passages breathe through them. Don't mouth breathe.

"I am convinced within that when sleep apnea is not a structural issue it is due to some type of defeciency, brain issue, or genetics.."
The primary cause of sleep apnea is - structural/obstructive. It has been and is observed in patients with sleep apnea. You are right, there is a brain problem that can cause it as well.
I have spent nights in a sleep lab under watchful human observation while having more than 20 wires hooked up to me. Those wires monitored my brain and heart activity along with my muscle activity. I'll take the diagnosis that came out of those sessions any day over your unsubstantiated guess at the cause of apnea.
Since wearing a CPAP mask that keeps my mouth closed and a positive air pressure on my breathing, I sleep much, much better and no longer wake up tired and no longer have the potential of death from a lack of breathing. Yes - I am no longer in danger of death from stopping breathing during my sleep - something that is common with people with untreated sleep apnea of all ages.

Types of sleep apnea
- Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea. It occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often causing you to snore loudly.
- Central sleep apnea is a much less common type of sleep apnea that involves the central nervous system, occurring when the brain fails to signal the muscles that control breathing. People with central sleep apnea seldom snore.
- Complex sleep apnea is a combination of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
