Snoring / Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea Treatment in Dubai
Snoring and Sleep Apnea is a widespread silent epidemic which most people are not aware of. Generally Snoring is considered to be a harmless nuisance. But it can be a precursor to more serious conditions like Hypertension and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Snoring is caused by the turbulent airflow in the throat caused by the narrowing of the airway during sleep. For some people, this narrowing of the airway during deep sleep can cause a complete obstruction leading to a pause in breathing which may extend beyong 30 seconds. This is known as Apnea. Unfortunately Apneas can happen multiple times during sleep, resulting in a very disturbed sleep pattern causing excessive day time sleepiness and tiredness. In the long run this condition is known to affect the heart and the lungs too.
