Dr. Mohammad Hanif, a highly experienced ENT & Head-Neck Surgeon, specializes in diagnosing and treating snoring and sleep apnea to help patients achieve a healthier and more restful sleep. If you or a loved one experiences loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, or daytime fatigue, it may be a sign of sleep apnea, a serious condition that requires medical attention.
Snoring occurs when the airflow through the nose and throat is partially blocked, causing vibrations in the airway. It can be caused by:
🔹 Nasal congestion (allergies, sinus issues)
🔹 Deviated nasal septum
🔹 Weak throat muscles leading to airway collapse
🔹 Obesity & lifestyle factors (alcohol, smoking)
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway obstruction. Symptoms include:
🔹 Loud snoring with choking or gasping sounds
🔹 Pauses in breathing while sleeping
🔹 Excessive daytime sleepiness & fatigue
🔹 Morning headaches & difficulty concentrating
If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Dr. Hanif offers a comprehensive approach to treating snoring and sleep apnea based on the severity of the condition:
🔹 Lifestyle Modifications – Weight management, sleep position adjustments, and avoiding alcohol/smoking.
🔹 Nasal & Airway Treatments – Addressing nasal congestion, allergies, and sinus issues to improve airflow.
🔹 Oral Appliances (Mandibular Devices) – Custom-made devices that keep the airway open during sleep.
🔹 CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) Therapy – A specialized machine that delivers constant airflow to keep the airway open.
🔹 Surgical Treatments for Severe Cases –
✔ Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): Removes excess tissue in the throat to widen the airway.
✔ Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy: Removes enlarged tonsils or adenoids that cause blockage.
✔ Septoplasty & Turbinate Reduction: Corrects a deviated septum for improved breathing.
✔ Tongue Base & Soft Palate Surgery: Tightens airway tissues to prevent collapse.
✔ Expert in advanced ENT & sleep apnea surgery
✔ Comprehensive diagnosis & personalized treatment plans
✔ Minimally invasive surgical techniques for faster recovery
✔ Collaboration with sleep specialists for complete care
