Snoring (OSA)

Five things my patient should know

  1. Snoring is due to obstruction of upper airway
  2. Severe obstruction will cause reduced airflow (oxygen) to lungs and causes low blood oxygen which is called OSA
  3. You will be suffering from hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks, depression etc all of which are due to snoring (OSA), so kindly check your pulmonologist if you are a snorer
  4. Our clinic has a sleep centre where we diagnose OSA with sleep studies and give appropriate treatment
  5. No medical shop tablets will improve snoring
  6. Last word: If you snore, I am your cure
