What Is Sleep Apnoea?

Sleep apnoea, primarily obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), involves airway blockages during sleep, often due to relaxed throat tissues or anatomical factors, leading to snoring, gasping, and daytime fatigue. Dr. Naveed Basheeth uses advanced diagnostics, including sleep studies and endoscopy, to assess severity and deliver tailored treatments for lasting health benefits.

Is Sleep Apnoea Treatment the Right Option for Me?

Treatment is ideal for those with persistent sleep apnoea symptoms affecting daily life. You may benefit if you experience:

  • Loud snoring or gasping during sleep
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
  • Morning headaches or dry mouth
  • Difficulty concentrating or irritability
  • Confirmed OSA via sleep study
  • Realistic expectations for improved sleep

How Is Sleep Apnoea Treatment Different From Other ENT Services?

Sleep apnoea treatment uniquely focuses on resolving airway obstructions that interrupt breathing during sleep, setting it apart from ENT specialties addressing ear, sinus, or throat conditions. It combines sophisticated diagnostics, such as polysomnography and endoscopic airway assessment, with customized interventions like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliances, or minimally invasive procedures like uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. This targeted approach effectively restores seamless breathing, enhances sleep quality, and reduces associated health risks with precision.

Does Recovery After Sleep Apnoea Treatment Take Long?

Recovery from sleep apnoea treatments is generally rapid, with non-invasive options like CPAP or oral appliances offering immediate symptom relief. Minimally invasive surgeries, such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, result in mild throat discomfort that typically fades within days, allowing most patients to return to normal routines within 1–2 weeks. Dr. Basheeth’s individualized aftercare plans prioritize comfort, ensuring a smooth healing process and sustained improvements in sleep and vitality.
