you can get sleep apnea from being overweight OR just how everything in your throat area formed... Basically, go to your regular doctor and get a refferal to a sleep disorder doctor or neurologist who will then send you to a sleep lab to see if you have it and how badly it is if you indeed have it...

there are tons of things you can do: lose weight, use a CPAP or BiPAP Machine which uses pressurized air to keep your throat open, get tissue on your soft palate removed, get your tonsils out, have tissue in your throat removed using this weird radio frequency thing, wear a mouth piece... and apparently they are developing some kind of implant they stick in your soft palate that the skin grows around.

either way, its a pain in the ass but worth it... ive stopped and started treaments, and I wish I hadnt.

good luck!
