    Please don't be offended by me asking this question, & i do hope i'm wrong, but by any chance are you overweight? I'm certainly not suggesting you are, but if that's the case, getting your weight back to a healthy range can make a big difference with sleep apnea. Sure medications can help somewhat but we need to keep in mind the health ramifications of sleep apnea (which i'm sure you're aware of anyway). High blood pressure being a big one. Go back to your doc & tell them that it needs further investigation.
