Sleep Apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and long-term health risks. It is often linked to snoring, daytime fatigue, high blood pressure, and heart disease. At Anil Baghi Hospital, our specialists provide advanced diagnosis and treatment to help you breathe better and sleep peacefully.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea:
✅ Loud Snoring – A common sign, often noticed by partners.
✅ Choking or Gasping During Sleep – Interrupted breathing episodes.
✅ Excessive Daytime Sleepiness – Feeling drowsy even after a full night’s sleep.
✅ Morning Headaches & Dry Mouth – Due to lack of oxygen and mouth breathing.
✅ Difficulty Concentrating & Mood Changes – Linked to poor sleep quality.
Types & Causes of Sleep Apnea:
✔ Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common type, caused by blocked airways due to relaxed throat muscles.
✔ Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): The brain fails to send proper signals for breathing.
✔ Risk Factors: Obesity, smoking, alcohol use, nasal congestion, family history, and age.
Diagnosis & Treatment at Anil Baghi Hospital:
✅ Sleep Study (Polysomnography): Monitors breathing patterns and oxygen levels during sleep.
✅ CPAP Therapy: A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device keeps the airway open.
✅ Oral Appliances: Custom mouthpieces help keep the throat unobstructed.
✅ Lifestyle Changes: Weight loss, quitting smoking, and sleeping position adjustments improve symptoms.
✅ Surgical Options: In severe cases, procedures like UPPP (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) or nasal surgery may be recommended.
