Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Sleep apnea, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a common but often underdiagnosed sleep disorder that causes repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. These breathing interruptions may lead to poor sleep quality, loud snoring, morning headaches, daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. At Maitreyi Clinic in Indore, we offer evaluation and treatment for sleep apnea with a focus on improving both sleep and overall health.
OSA happens when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. It can affect adults of all ages and is often associated with obesity, enlarged tonsils, nasal blockage, smoking, and certain medical conditions. If left untreated, sleep apnea may increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes complications, and accidents due to daytime fatigue.
