Treatment of sleep apnea
Chronic snoring, respiratory arrest during sleep, morning headaches and constant fatigue are not just discomfort, but signs of a syndrome called apnea. This condition requires attention because it affects the functioning of the heart, blood vessels and the overall quality of life. Modern and comprehensive treatment of sleep apnea in Dubai is available at the Kandinsky Clinic, based on international recommendations and taking into account local protocols.
How to suspect sleep apnea: disturbing symptoms
- Loud snoring with breathing pauses
- Constant drowsiness during the day, the feeling that you don't rest at night
- Morning headaches
- Poorly controlled blood pressure, episodes of arrhythmias
Even if you have only one of these conditions, it is important to get a consultation and eliminate the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
The risks are increased by overweight, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and chronic cardiovascular diseases.
How is the diagnosis going?
The first step is to consult a doctor: analyzing complaints, assessing risk factors, and completing the STOP-Bang and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires.
STOP-Bang is a short 8—question test that examines the main signs of sleep apnea. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a sleepiness scale where the patient is asked to rate how likely they are to fall asleep in various situations.
If necessary, sleep studies in the home format (HSAT) are prescribed based on the results of the consultation. The patient sleeps in the usual conditions, and the compact device records breathing, oxygen saturation, snoring and sleep phases. This approach is both informative and as comfortable as possible.
After 1-2 days of repeated consultation, we discuss the results and select a personal treatment plan.
How we treat sleep apnea
At the Kandinsky Clinic, we use a range of treatment methods that are individually tailored to each patient.:
- APAP therapy is the gold standard: gentle air pressure through the mask keeps the airways open.
- Dental sleep Mouthguards that are effective for mild forms of sleep apnea
- ENT-correction for chronic nasal congestion
- Consultations with an endocrinologist and a nutritionist for metabolic problems
- Professional help for lifestyle correction (weight loss, abstaining from alcohol and nicotine, sleeping on your side)
Comprehensive treatment of sleep apnea can improve sleep quality and well-being, reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, normalize blood pressure and heart rhythm, and increase energy and concentration during the day.
Patients note that after properly selected therapy they become more active, resilient and calm.
