Sleep Apnea (not sure of spelling)

Does anyone know much about sleep apnea? My Husband has been diagnosed with this and has been booked into a sleep lab for investigation. The doctor was not very forthcoming on causes and possible long term problems.

My OH had 55 episoides a minute with his sleep apena and needed the machine to breathe... It was kinda like being next to Tom Cruise there for a bit LOL!!! Anyway how he lost over 30 kilo in weight went back and only had 8 per minute which was just outside of normal range which is 7. 

Losing weight is the best possible treatment!

Sorry jean I missed the bit about the meds causing weight gain, could you speak to the doctor about alternatives and what OH could do to keep his weight undercontrol?
