Do you or a loved one have difficulty with heavy snoring? Snoring is a common indicator of sleep apnea (or OSA). Have more questions? Get in touch with our team; we’ll be happy to help.
Enlarged tonsils can block the throat and lead to obstructive sleep apnea. UPPP is a procedure that involves removing or repositioning excess tissue to open up the airway to alleviate these problems.
Nasal surgery can help with snoring and may improve tolerance of CPAP. Inferior turbinate procedures include inferior turbinate submucosal resections and radiofrequency ablations that help open the nasal airway. Septoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to correct a deviated septum.
Snoring may seem like a minor—if not bothersome—problem to many. It may be accompanied by daytime fatigue and sleep disorders. While these conditions might not seem like a cause for concern, obstructive sleep apnea may lead to other more serious problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Stay in control of your well-being by reaching out to our ENT experts to get an evaluation.
