How Sleep Apnea Exhausts Your Body
Excessive daytime sleepiness, waking up tired, and loud snoring are clear signs of sleep apnea. When breathing stops, blood oxygen drops, putting severe stress on the heart and brain, dramatically increasing the risk of hypertension and heart attacks.
Treatment: Surgery or CPAP?
Treatment is tailored based on sleep study results. If the source of apnea is nasal congestion, a sagging soft palate, or huge tonsils, the airway is expanded using radiofrequency and modern palate surgery (UPPP) techniques. Resolving the anatomical blockage dramatically improves the patient's sleep quality.
