Snoring And Sleep Apnoea

Snoring and sleep apnea can often be treated through various methods. For snoring, lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bed, and sleeping on your side can help. 

​

Sleep apnea, a more serious condition, may require medical intervention. 

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing.

Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea typically involves a multi-faceted approach that may include:

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): CPAP machines are commonly prescribed as the first-line treatment for moderate to severe OSA. The machine delivers a constant stream of air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth, keeping the airway open during sleep.

​

Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be recommended to address physical obstructions in the airway. Surgical options can vary and may involve removing excess tissue, repositioning the jaw, or correcting structural abnormalities.

​

Lifestyle Changes: Certain lifestyle modifications can help improve symptoms of OSA. These may include weight loss, regular exercise, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bed, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.

It's important to consult with a specialist to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on individual circumstances and severity of OSA.
