Dear what exactly are the symptoms ? I guess you are referring to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS)
Sleep study is done for diagnosing it.
Mamagement includes weight reduction and continuous positive air pressure via CPAP machine used at night.

Well Sleep paralysis is a complete inability to move for 1-2 minutes just after waking and is often accompanied by hypnagogic hallucinations.. Some people may experience inability to speak andaome feel a choking sensation..
But its always transient and lasts for a few minutes..
Sleep paralysis has various causes ranging from some poor sleep habits and psychiatric illnesses to organic brain lesions and sometimes are cused by some drugs as well..
Its best diagnosed through overnight polysomnography and multilpe sleep latency tests...
You can get some measures to get it relieved such as
1. Have enough sleep 6-8 hrs
2. Get your stresses relieved specially before aleeping
3. Change of position while sleeping may help a little
4. And in the end you may need to consult a psychiatrist for any associated mental health issues..
