Snoring & Sleep Apnea
If you or your bed partner suffers from snoring
or difficulty breathing at night, Dallas ENT--Head & Neck Surgery Center Center can help. For many of our patients, relief may be available
through office treatments performed under local anesthesia, which require little
or no time off and no complicated apparatus.
The two most common disorders we see are loud snoring and sleep apnea. Sleep
apnea often appears as snoring but is a condition that causes the patient to
stop breathing during sleep. This happens when the muscles of the throat relax
too much and block the air passage. The person must partially wake up in order
to get the throat muscles working again, which results in a poor night's
sleep. Many of those with sleep apnea do not know they are not sleeping soundly or that
they could be at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
