Overview:
Snoring occurs when airflow is partially blocked during sleep, causing vibrations in the throat. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a more serious condition where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, leading to breathing pauses, poor sleep quality, and increased health risks like high blood pressure and heart disease.
Treatments
Lifestyle Changes
Weight loss, avoiding alcohol, and changing sleep positions can reduce snoring.
CPAP Therapy
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) keeps the airway open during sleep for OSA patients.
Oral Appliances
Custom-made devices reposition the jaw to maintain an open airway.
Surgical Options
Procedures like UPPP (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) or nasal surgeries (e.g., septoplasty, turbinate reduction) can help improve airflow.
