Do You Snore Loudly or Wake Up Exhausted?
Usually ignored as just a noisy habit, loud snoring, waking up gasping, or feeling tired despite a full night’s sleep may be signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
As a dedicated snoring & sleep apnea treatment specialist in Vashi, Dr. Archana Jhawar provides comprehensive evaluation and treatments at our ENT clinics in Vashi and Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai.
We offer detailed upper airway evaluation, home sleep study in Navi Mumbai, and CPAP guidance for patients with snoring and sleep-related breathing problems.
How We Evaluate Snoring & Sleep Apnea?
Each patient undergoes a detailed sleep history, ENT examination, endoscpy, and a sleep study when required.
ENT Examination & Detailed Sleep History
- We assess the nose, throat, palate, tongue, and UPPER airway using endoscope to identify possible structural causes contributing to snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. This helps us understand exactly where the airway narrows or collapses during sleep.
- Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) to see your airway blockages during induced sleep.
Home Sleep Study & Polysomnography in Navi Mumbai
- We provide supervised Level 2 home sleep studies in Navi Mumbai for patients who prefer testing in their natural sleep environment, as well as lab-based options depending on clinical requirements
- The sleep study evaluates breathing pauses, oxygen levels, snoring severity, and sleep-related breathing disturbances to guide your further treatment, including CPAP therapy or surgical planning.
If you are unsure whether a home sleep study or hospital polysomnography is more suitable for your symptoms, read our detailed guide on Home Sleep Study vs Lab Sleep Study.
CPAP Therapy & Guidance in Navi Mumbai
For patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatment options.
If you are looking for a personalized CPAP titration trial near me, our Vashi clinic provides complete setup guidance.
We offer support with mask fitting, pressure adjustments, and regular follow-up to help patients adapt comfortably to therapy based on their sleep study findings.
Auto-titrating CPAP (sCPAP/APAC) is available for patients who require variable pressure support based on sleep study findings.
Patients from Vashi, Sanpada, Nerul, Belapur, Kharghar, Koparkhairane, Ghansoli and Panvel visit our clinic for home sleep study, OSA screening and CPAP trial in Navi Mumbai.
Surgical Treatment for Sleep Apnea for Selected Patients
In some patients, specific anatomical airway blockage make it difficult to use a CPAP machine and may require ENT surgical treatment.
Surgery for sleep apnea is especially needed when nasal obstruction or throat narrowing contributes significantly to snoring or sleep apnea.
Depending on the evaluation, treatment options may include:
- Nasal surgeries (Septoplasty or turbinate reduction): to clear nasal blockage
- Palatal procedures: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): for selected throat obstruction cases.
- Tongue base procedures or multi-level airway correction in selected patients.
- Oral appliances for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Q. When should I get evaluated for snoring?
Doctor’s Reply:
Loud habitual snoring, choking during sleep, disturbed sleep, morning headaches, daytime fatigue, or excessive sleepiness may suggest obstructive sleep apnea and should be evaluated by an ENT.
Q. Can sleep apnea happen even if my MRI or blood tests are normal?
Doctor’s Reply:
Yes. Obstructive sleep apnea is usually related to airway narrowing or collapse during sleep and may not appear on routine blood tests or MRI scans. A sleep study helps evaluate breathing disturbances during sleep.
Q. Can snoring happen without sleep apnea?
Doctor’s Reply:
Yes. Some patients may have simple snoring without significant sleep apnea, while others may have repeated breathing pauses during sleep. A proper ENT examination and sleep study help differentiate between the two conditions.
Q. Will every patient with sleep apnea need CPAP therapy?
Doctor’s Reply:
Not always. Treatment depends on the severity of sleep apnea, airway anatomy, and sleep study findings.
Some patients improve with lifestyle measures or medical treatment, while others may require CPAP therapy or surgery.
Q. Do all patients with snoring require surgery?
Doctor’s Reply:
No. Many patients improve without surgery. Surgical treatment is considered in selected patients when structural airway blockage contributes significantly to snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.
