Hi. I understand your concern s. Cpap is the only way of treating sleep apnea. Do a online consult for a detailed analysis of your symptoms and reports to suggest you further management plan and treatment prescription. In terms assessing the reason for sleep apnea and what measures can be taken to correct it

Cpap is life changing if sleep apnea is severe , u will get used to it and all ur symptoms will improve . But sleep study hs to be done and other problems to be ruled out. Needs detailed evaluation, start online consultation for further advice
