compression stockings and OSA
6 August 2011, 08:32
Interesting article here about use of compression stockings (as used on flights) in helping OSA:
How to cure snoring... with a pair of inflight DVT tights

Wearing compression stockings might help people suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea, claim researchers.

I beat you to it Poppy:
Flight Socks Treating OSA? - CPAP Forums
http://forums.cpap.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2092
Sleep apnea treatment that doesn't involve an PAP machine and a mask can be discussed here. Nose strips, mandibular advancement devices, surgery, weight loss etc.
But interesting indeed! Worth a try, I suppose. Not much to lose.
