Million Americans
snore! Are you
one of them?
Excessive snoring
are problems
totally related
to upper airway
obstruction.
The two areas
that become
blocked are
the nasal
passages and
the throat.
1. Nasal
obstruction
is a common
factor with
people who snore.
Nasal obstruction
issues are often
due to a deviated
nasal septum.
Aside from snoring
symptoms, individuals
with nasal obstruction
often complain
of facial pain,
headaches, ear
pressure and
fullness, sinus
congestion and
sinus infections.
2. Throat
obstruction
is also a
common factor
with people
who have excessive
snoring problems.
The soft palate
and uvula
often hang
too far into
the throat
causing significant
airflow restriction
when the patient
lies down.
I have successfully
treated many
patients with
complaints
of excessive
snoring and
sleep apnea over the past
15 years.
Initially
most patients
are treated
medically
with nasal
steroid sprays
for their
nasal obstruction.
Patients who
fail medical
therapy are
then offered
snoring surgery
options.
The vast number
of patients
who undergo
surgical correction
of their excessive
snoring problems
require a
combination
of nasal surgery
(to correct
nasal airway
obstruction)
and palate
resection
surgery (to
correct obstruction
in the throat).
85%
of patients
having this
combination
of surgical
procedures
are totally
cured of their
snoring problems.
