Loud snoring, gasping or choking at night, or waking up exhausted no matter how long you slept? Sleep apnea is more than disruptive snoring. It’s a breathing problem during sleep that can affect your heart, energy, and focus. Get an ENT-focused evaluation and a treatment plan that fits, in person or by video.
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea, happens when the soft tissues of the throat, tongue, or nasal passages narrow or block the airway. Each pause can lower your oxygen and pull you out of deep sleep, often without you remembering it. Over time, untreated sleep apnea is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and ongoing daytime fatigue.
Common symptoms include:
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
Snoring and broken sleep are not always simple. Nasal blockage, enlarged tonsils, a deviated septum, or throat anatomy can all contribute, and an ENT-focused exam looks at the structures that drive airway collapse.
During your visit, your ENT provider reviews your symptoms and sleep history, examines your nose and throat, and helps arrange testing when sleep apnea is suspected.
Virtual ENT care can help with symptom review, sleep history, and arranging a home sleep test when appropriate.
An in-person visit may be needed to examine your nose and throat or evaluate the structures contributing to airway collapse.
