Sleep Apnea & Snoring

Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatments
for Patients Across Greenwich, Stamford, CT and Westchester, NY

Snoring is a common condition that affects over 90 million Americans. Snoring can have many causes and can sometimes be a sign of a serious medical condition. Some of these causes include mild allergies, the presence of cysts, thick tissue in the throat or neck, and a deviated septum. 


Snoring can also indicate sleep apnea, a serious condition that deprives the patient of adequate rest. When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tongue is sucked against the back of the throat. This blocks the upper airway and airflow stops. When the oxygen level in the brain becomes low enough, the sleeper partially awakens, the obstruction in the throat clears, and the flow of air starts again. Not breathing - even momentarily - decreases the amount of oxygen available to your body.


Those who experience sleep apnea may also suffer from daytime sleepiness, depression, and loss of concentration. If you snore or have sleep apnea, call the team at Greenwich ENT. We offer solutions for those in the Stamford, CT; Greenwich, CT, and Westchester, NY communities.
