Sleep Apnea Treatment
Chronic snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep, morning headaches, and persistent fatigue are not just inconveniences but signs of a condition known as sleep apnea. This disorder requires medical attention as it affects heart function, blood vessels, and overall quality of life. At Kandinsky Clinic in Dubai, we provide modern, comprehensive treatment for sleep apnea, based on international guidelines and adapted to local medical protocols.
How to Recognize Sleep Apnea: Warning Signs
- Loud snoring accompanied by episodes of breathing cessation
- Excessive daytime sleepiness, feeling unrefreshed after sleep
- Morning headaches
- Poorly controlled blood pressure or episodes of cardiac arrhythmias
Even if you experience only one of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical consultation to rule out the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
Risk factors include excess weight, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and chronic cardiovascular disease.
Diagnostic Process
The first step is a medical consultation, which includes a detailed assessment of symptoms, evaluation of risk factors, and completion of the STOP-Bang and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires.
- STOP-Bang is a short, 8-item screening tool used to detect key signs of sleep apnea.
- Epworth Sleepiness Scale assesses the likelihood of falling asleep in various everyday situations.
If necessary, based on the consultation, a Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) may be prescribed. The patient sleeps in familiar surroundings while a compact device records breathing patterns, oxygen saturation, snoring, and sleep stages. This method is both highly informative and comfortable.
Within 1–2 days, during a follow-up consultation, results are reviewed and a personalized treatment plan is developed.
Our Approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment
At Kandinsky Clinic, we use a comprehensive approach with therapies tailored to each patient:
- APAP therapy — the gold standard: gentle positive airway pressure delivered through a mask keeps the airways open
- Oral appliances (dental sleep devices), effective for mild forms of sleep apnea
- ENT interventions for chronic nasal obstruction
- Endocrinology and nutrition consultations for patients with metabolic disorders
- Professional support in lifestyle modification (weight reduction, avoidance of alcohol and nicotine, side-sleeping techniques)
Comprehensive treatment of sleep apnea helps improve sleep quality and overall well-being, reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, stabilize blood pressure and heart rhythm, and increase daily energy and concentration.
Patients often report becoming more active, resilient, and emotionally balanced after individualized therapy.
