Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea treatment at Peak ENT

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is more than a nighttime nuisance — it’s a serious health condition that can affect your sleep, energy, mood, and long-term well-being. At Peak ENT, we specialize in diagnosing and treating OSA with personalized, proven solutions designed to restore your breathing, protect your health, and improve your quality of life.

If you’re struggling with loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or waking up gasping for air, we’re here to help you breathe easier, night after night. Get the treatment your body needs to sleep deeply and wake up refreshed.

What is obstructive sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissues in your throat relax during sleep, causing a partial or complete blockage of your airway. This interruption in airflow can happen dozens of times per night, reducing your oxygen levels and disrupting your natural sleep cycles.

Over time, untreated sleep apnea increases your risk for:

High blood pressure
Heart disease
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Weight gain
Depression and anxiety
Poor memory and concentration

Common symptoms of OSA

Many people don’t realize they have sleep apnea until a bed partner notices the signs. You may have OSA if you experience:

Loud, chronic snoring
Gasping, choking, or pauses in breathing during sleep
Morning headaches or dry mouth
Daytime drowsiness or irritability
Difficulty concentrating or remembering things
Insomnia or restless sleep
Frequent nighttime urination

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to schedule a sleep evaluation.

How Peak ENT diagnoses sleep apnea

We start with a detailed consultation and airway examination, followed by a home sleep study or overnight sleep test to monitor your breathing, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns.
We also evaluate structural factors like nasal blockages, enlarged tonsils, or a deviated septum that may be contributing to your condition. Our ENT specialists use advanced diagnostics to uncover the root cause of your sleep apnea, so you get treatment that works.

Personalized treatment options for OSA

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for sleep apnea. That’s why we offer a range of treatment options based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and sleep study results.

Surgical options (when needed):

Tonsillectomy or adenoid removal
Nasal or sinus surgery
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)
Tongue base reduction

Our team will walk you through every option and help you choose the one that offers the best results with the least disruption.
