Hi, I m farhat 26 years old from srinagar jk. I am suffering from obstructive sleep apnea since last 5 years and due to my own negligence I didn't take it serious at first. After things got serious I moved to cpap machine and after that I m doing fine. But is cpap the only solution coz I feel embarassed whenever I go somewhere coz I have to take cpap with me. What else I can do? Is it a reversible condition? Kindly help. Regards
