Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common and serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. At Omnia Hospital, we offer expert diagnosis, advanced treatments, and ongoing support to help you manage OSA effectively and improve your sleep quality and overall health.
OSA occurs when the muscles in the throat relax excessively during sleep, leading to a temporary blockage of the upper airway. This blockage can cause pauses in breathing, often lasting for several seconds to minutes, and can lead to fragmented sleep and reduced oxygen levels in the blood. Common symptoms include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating.
• Loud Snoring: Frequent and loud snoring, often with periods of silence when breathing stops.
• Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: Feeling unusually tired during the day, even after a full night's sleep.
• Morning Headaches: Headaches upon waking, often related to disrupted sleep and low oxygen levels.
• Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing or memory problems due to poor-quality sleep.
• Gasping or Choking During Sleep: Episodes of choking or gasping for air during the night.
Accurate diagnosis of OSA is crucial for effective treatment. At Omnia Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your condition:
• Polysomnography (Sleep Study): A comprehensive overnight sleep study that monitors various physiological parameters, including brain waves, eye movements, heart rate, and breathing patterns, to diagnose OSA.
• Home Sleep Apnea Testing: A portable device that you use at home to monitor your breathing patterns and other indicators of sleep apnea.
• Oximetry: A test that measures blood oxygen levels during sleep to identify periods of low oxygen associated with OSA.
Effective management of OSA requires regular monitoring and follow-up. At Omnia Hospital, we schedule follow-up appointments to evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment, address any issues or concerns, and make adjustments as needed. Our goal is to help you achieve restful sleep and improve your overall health and well-being.
