Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder in which a person's breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
Sleep apnea can lead to daytime fatigue and impaired concentration
There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and complex sleep apnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type, where the airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, leading to breathing pauses or shallow breathing. Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain doesn't send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. Complex sleep apnea syndrome is a combination of both types.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
Symptoms
Sleep apnea symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual and the type of sleep apnea. In some cases, people may not even be aware they have sleep apnea, while in others, it can significantly impact their daily life and overall health.
- Loud snoring
- Episodes of breathing cessation during sleep
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Restless sleep and insomnia
- Morning headache
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Irritability and difficulty concentrating
How diagnosis is made?
Diagnosing sleep apnea is important because it helps to identify underlying issues that might make sleep apnea worse, such as obesity or enlarged tonsils, and can help people to get the treatment they need to improve their quality of sleep.
Consultation
The first step in diagnosing sleep apnea is to get a medical check-up.
Sleep study
A sleep study may be recommended to rule out other sleep disorders and evaluate sleep patterns.
Diagnosis
After the sleep study, the doctor will review the results and make a diagnosis based on the severity of sleep apnea.

Get the treatment done right!
Sleep apnea treatment is important because it can significantly improve the quality of life of those affected by the condition.
Lifestyle changes
For mild cases of sleep apnea, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bed, and changing sleep positions may be recommended.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy
CPAP therapy involves wearing a mask over the nose and/or mouth that delivers a constant stream of air to keep the airway open during sleep.
Other treatments
Other treatments such as oral appliances or surgery may be also be recommended.
