Diagnosis and Primary Medical Management for Snoring and OSA

**Snoring** is the sound made when air flow is obstructed by soft tissues during sleep. While often socially disruptive, severe snoring can be a symptom of **Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)**, a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts, leading to poor oxygenation and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Divya S. Gupta provides a crucial **initial ENT evaluation** for snoring and sleep disturbances. Our focus is to identify the site of obstruction (nose, palate, tongue base) and, most importantly, coordinate the gold-standard **non-surgical medical therapy** for confirmed OSA, which is **CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)**.

Schedule a Snoring/Sleep Assessment

Comprehensive Sleep Evaluation

We work to accurately assess the severity of your condition:

Clinical Assessment

Evaluation of the **nasal airway, soft palate, tonsils**, and tongue base via clinical and endoscopic examination.
Use of the **Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)** to quantify daytime sleepiness.

Sleep Study Referral

Referral for **Polysomnography (PSG)** or home sleep apnea testing to confirm the diagnosis and severity of OSA.
**Essential step** for determining appropriate treatment (snoring vs. mild/moderate/severe OSA).

Primary Non-Surgical Therapies for Sleep Apnea

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

**CPAP** remains the most effective and preferred non-surgical treatment for **moderate to severe OSA**. We provide coordination and support for initiating CPAP therapy:

**Prescription & Education:** Determining the required pressure and instructing patients on use, mask fitting, and compliance.
**Troubleshooting:** Addressing issues like nasal dryness, air leaks, and mask discomfort to maximize adherence.

Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)

For **mild to moderate OSA** or for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP, we may recommend a custom-fitted **Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD)**:

These devices are made by a specialized dentist and work by holding the jaw and tongue forward to keep the airway open during sleep.

Lifestyle & Adjunctive Management

Weight Management

Weight loss is a key non-surgical intervention that can significantly reduce the severity of snoring and OSA.

Positional Therapy

Avoiding the supine (back) sleeping position, often achieved with specialized pillows or devices, can reduce simple snoring.

Nasal Congestion Treatment

Treating underlying allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis helps stabilize CPAP use and reduces resistance.

Chronic snoring is a health issue, not just a nuisance. Get evaluated to rule out Sleep Apnea and start the medical therapy that can improve your heart health, energy, and quality of life.
