SNORING CLINIC

Sleep is essential for good health, and a healthy circadian rhythm keeps the body's metabolism going. This keeps all of the body's functions in sync. In today's highly competitive world, sleep has become a luxury, and for some, it has become an issue. Snoring is the hoarse loud sound that occurs when air flows in and out of the lungs past relaxed tissues of the airway passage causing the tissues to vibrate and create turbulence as you breathe. Nearly everyone snores now and then, but for some, it can be a chronic problem. Sometimes it may also indicate a serious health condition. In addition, snoring can be a nuisance for your partner.

What happens at the Snoring Clinic?

At the Mayom hospital Snoring clinic, our experienced doctor will ask you a range of questions to fully understand your problem. An array of investigations as per the requirements of the patient will then be suggested. Imaging (X-Ray, CT scan or MRI scan to check for structural airway abnormalities) may be needed in certain situations. Depending on the severity of your snoring and other symptoms, your doctor may want to conduct a sleep study. You may need to stay overnight at a sleep center to undergo an in-depth analysis of your breathing during sleep by a study, called a polysomnography. In a polysomnography, you're connected to sensors and observed overnight. The following information is recorded: Brain waves, Blood oxygen level, Heart rate, Breathing rate, Sleep stages, Eye and leg movements Sleep studies may sometimes be done at home. A drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) may also be advised. This is a day- care procedure which helps to identify the narrowest portions of your airway passage and helps in the diagnosis of the syndrome. Thereafter, a team of professionals will be working together to give you the best remedy option as per the severity of your condition. These treatment options maybe conservative, interventional (using devices like CPAP, BiPaP machine) or surgical.
