What is sleep apnea?
A condition where the airway is partially or fully blocked during sleep, causing breathing pauses. Untreated, it increases cardiovascular risks.
Treatment options
Lifestyle changes, CPAP devices, oral appliances and surgery (septoplasty, turbinate surgery, soft-palate surgery) are planned according to each case.
Frequently asked questions
- Is snoring alone dangerous?
- If apnea is not present, it is mainly a social issue — but it may progress to apnea later in life. Evaluation is recommended.
