Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a condition where the airway becomes partially or fully blocked during sleep, causing interruptions in breathing. These pauses, known as apnoeas, can last for several seconds and occur multiple times throughout the night, leading to poor sleep quality and fatigue. Common symptoms of OSA include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, daytime tiredness, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Untreated OSA can increase the risk of serious health issues, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

At The ENT Consultancy, our specialists provide expert care for managing OSA, starting with a thorough assessment to determine the severity and underlying causes. Treatments may involve lifestyle changes, such as weight management or positional therapy, to reduce airway obstruction. For more advanced cases, medical devices such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines or surgical options, including nasal or throat procedures, may be recommended to improve airflow and reduce apnoea episodes.

Living with untreated OSA can affect your health, energy, and overall quality of life. Take control of your sleep health and schedule an appointment with The ENT Consultancy today for effective Obstructive Sleep Apnoea diagnosis and personalised treatment.
