My father is facing Sleep Apenea problem, he is not able to sleep properly, it gets break in every 30 min or so due to breathing problem. He snores a lot. What will be the best solution for his problem as he has already underwent a lot of treatment. Who is the specialist for this problem. I read about CPAP. Is that a good option?

We will need to get a detailed history of his symptoms . Quantify his symptoms. Change his food habits.
Do upper and lower respiratory tract tests and finally polysomnography .then jump to the severity of the disease
