THE SNORING FIX
Our Treatments
In the realm of snoring, the soft palate, uvula, and tongue base are key factors. At Sleep Aid, Dr. Raiyan Chaudry can guide you in choosing the appropriate surgical or procedural approaches to address your snoring and sleep-related concerns. Treatment options encompass minimally invasive procedures such as palate radio-frequency, which can be conveniently performed in the clinic with local anesthesia. These methods are particularly effective for individuals facing snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. For more complex procedures, the operating room is the setting, and these are typically carried out under general anesthesia, mainly intended for patients contending with severe snoring and sleep apnea.

Common causes of snoring & OSA
Certain physical characteristics, such as having a narrow airway, a large soft palate, a relaxed throat, or enlarged tonsils or adenoids, can contribute to snoring and OSA. Other factors such as obesity, age, genetics, and alcohol use can contribute to snoring.
Why seek treatment?
If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to various health complications and negatively impact your overall well-being. Some potential consequences of untreated OSA include cardiovascular issues and increased risk of stroke. Come see us today!
Tools for self-diagnosis
One of the hallmark symptoms of OSA is the repeated cessation or pauses in breathing during sleep, followed by gasping or choking sensations as breathing resumes. Additional symptoms include daytime fatigue or irritability or morning headaches.
Am I a good surgical candidate?
We will consider several factors to determine your candidacy for surgery by using a polysomnography (sleep study) and considering anotomical factors, overall health markers, and your personal preferences.
