If your apnea is position-dependent, consider yourself lucky. You could always try the old tennis ball sewn into the pj's trick.
Otherwise, I recommend a polysomnography and if you indeed have obstructive sleep apnea, a trial on a cpap. Non invasive, tho highly unglamorous, treatment, does the trick.
The sleep attacks hurt? Wonder if you are having apnea during them, too. I used to wake up every day with a mighty headache from the apnea. Oxygen deprivation is a mean monster.
