Snoring/Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Snoring is often dismissed as a simple nuisance, but it can be a sign of a serious sleep-related breathing disorder. At Ascent ENT Speciality Centre, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) using advanced diagnostic tools and individualized treatment plans.

Snoring occurs due to vibration of soft tissues in the upper airway such as the soft palate, uvula, tongue base, and throat muscles during sleep. While occasional snoring may be harmless, persistent loud snoring can indicate underlying airway obstruction and poor sleep quality.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition where the upper airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to repeated breathing interruptions.

This results in:

• Poor sleep quality 
• Reduced oxygen levels during sleep 
• Daytime fatigue 
• Reduced concentration 
• Increased health risks 

Snoring is often the first warning sign of OSA.

Why Snoring Should Not Be Ignored

Not all snorers have OSA, but when snoring is associated with:

• Excessive daytime sleepiness 
• Morning headaches 
• Poor concentration 
• Choking or gasping at night 
• Fatigue despite adequate sleep 

…it may indicate Obstructive Sleep Apnea requiring medical evaluation.
