Advanced Snoring and Sleep Apnea Treatment in Ghaziabad
Improve Your Sleep Quality and Heart Health with Expert ENT Intervention
Snoring is often dismissed as a minor annoyance, but it can be a warning sign of a serious medical condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). If you or your partner experience loud snoring, gasping for breath during sleep, or excessive daytime fatigue, your airway may be collapsing several times a night, depriving your brain and heart of vital oxygen.
Dr. Raina Rathore, a Gold Medalist ENT Specialist, provides comprehensive diagnostics and evidence-based treatments to help you breathe freely and sleep soundly. With 14+ years of experience, she specializes in identifying the exact site of obstruction—whether in the nose, palate, or tongue base.
Understanding Sleep Apnea: Is it More Than Just Snoring?
Sleep Apnea occurs when the muscles in the throat over-relax, or structural issues (like a deviated septum or enlarged tonsils) block the airway.
Common Symptoms to Watch For:
- Loud, chronic snoring every night.
- Waking up gasping or choking.
- Morning headaches and dry mouth.
- Difficulty concentrating and irritability.
- High blood pressure that is hard to control.
Comprehensive Diagnostics & Sleep Studies
Before treatment, we must determine the severity of the apnea:
Home Sleep Test (HST):
A convenient, overnight test conducted in the comfort of your home to monitor oxygen levels and breathing patterns.
Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE):
A specialized procedure where Dr. Raina uses a flexible camera to observe the airway while you are in a sleep-like state to find the exact "blockage point."
Treatment Options: From Lifestyle to Surgery
When medical management is not enough, Dr. Raina performs high-precision procedures:
CPAP Therapy:
The gold standard for OSA. We help you find the right mask and pressure settings for continuous positive airway pressure.
Minimally Invasive Surgery:
For patients who cannot tolerate CPAP, Dr. Raina performs surgeries to clear the airway:
-
Septoplasty & Turbinate Reduction: To fix nasal blockages.
-
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): Reshaping the soft palate to widen the throat.
-
Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy: Especially effective for pediatric sleep apnea.

FAQs
Is snoring always a sign of Sleep Apnea?
Not always, but “heroic” or very loud snoring followed by silence (pauses in breathing) is a major red flag for OSA. A sleep study is the only way to be sure.
Can children have Sleep Apnea?
Yes. In children, it is usually caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Treating it early is vital for their growth and school performance.
Will weight loss cure my snoring?
Weight loss can significantly reduce the severity of snoring and OSA, but structural issues like a narrow throat or a crooked nose may still require medical treatment.
