I think they dropped me on my head at no extra charge or something. My mother smoked like a furnace until I was ten years old (thanks for that scar tissue in my lungs from second-hand smoke, mom!) and I was born in one of the former malpratice capitals of the country.

Mild Sleep Apnea By Definition. Mild cases are actually mild cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). After a polysomnography, the AHI ratings can be properly determined. 5 to 15 AHI per hour during sleep is considered as a mild case. Mild cases are often not at much risk, and treatment for these cases is not too complicated.
If you have mild sleep apnea, some changes in daily activities or habits might be all the treatment you need. 1  Avoid alcohol and medicines that make you sleepy. They make it harder for your throat to stay open while you sleep. 2  Lose weight if you're overweight or obese. Even a little weight loss can improve your symptoms.
