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.Image
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.
