Snoring & Sleep Apnea Treatment in Dubai – Restore Healthy Sleep & Breathing
Snoring and sleep-related breathing disorders are not just a social inconvenience—they can be signs of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition that affects oxygen levels, sleep quality, and overall health. If you or your partner notice loud snoring, interrupted breathing during sleep, or excessive daytime fatigue, expert evaluation is essential.
At ENTcare, we provide comprehensive snoring and sleep apnea treatment in Dubai, offering accurate diagnosis and personalized management plans led by an experienced ENT consultant.
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring occurs when airflow is partially blocked during sleep, causing vibration of the soft tissues in the throat and nose. Common ENT-related causes include:
- Nasal blockage (deviated septum, nasal polyps, allergies)
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Elongated soft palate or uvula
- Tongue base obstruction
- Obesity or neck fat deposition
Identifying the exact level of obstruction is key to effective treatment.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway collapse. It can lead to:
- Poor sleep quality
- Daytime sleepiness
- Poor concentration and memory
- High blood pressure
- Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
Many patients with sleep apnea are unaware of their condition and seek help only when symptoms worsen.
Symptoms That Require ENT Evaluation
You should consult an ENT specialist if you experience:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Choking or gasping during sleep
- Excessive daytime fatigue
- Morning headaches
- Dry mouth or sore throat on waking
- Poor concentration or irritability
Early diagnosis prevents long-term complications.
How Are Snoring & Sleep Apnea Diagnosed?
At ENTcare, evaluation includes:
- Detailed sleep and medical history
- Complete ENT examination
- Nasal endoscopy to assess airway obstruction
- Sleep study (polysomnography) when required
This approach helps identify whether symptoms are due to nasal, throat, or multi-level airway obstruction.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Many patients benefit from conservative management, including:
- Treatment of nasal allergies
- Weight management advice
- Positional therapy
- CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for moderate to severe OSA
Non-surgical options are discussed thoroughly before considering surgery.
Surgical Treatment for Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Surgery is considered when:
- Structural ENT problems cause airway blockage
- CPAP is not tolerated
- Symptoms significantly affect quality of life
Common ENT Procedures Include:
- Septoplasty for nasal obstruction
- Turbinate reduction
- Tonsillectomy
- Soft palate or uvula procedures
- Multi-level airway surgery (selected cases)
All procedures are carefully selected based on individual anatomy and sleep study results.
