I was diagnosed with borderline sleep apnea in january, and they wanted to give me a CPAP machine.

The night I was fitted for it, I slept hardly at all even though the study claims I did! Even though I was on Ambien, it sure didn't feel like it, and I had to go to work late and take a nap at home.

So I opted for another method...I began diet and weight loss, and after only about 15 pounds lost I noticed a bigggg difference. That worked for me, and I"ve gone on to lose alot more, but my initial motivator was avoiding the CPAP machine.

I hope you find a doc local to you. There is a beautiful sleep lab up here in my town in NH, and I did have a great Neurologist...too bad you're not up here!

Good luck!
