SNORING EVALUATION
Snoring is common, but persistent snoring deserves evaluation
Snoring can be related to several factors involving the nose, throat and upper airway. Nasal blockage, mouth breathing, enlarged tissues and other ENT conditions may contribute to noisy or disturbed breathing during sleep.
An ENT assessment helps look for structural and airway-related factors that may be contributing to snoring. Symptoms, examination findings and the patient's overall sleep history are considered before deciding on further evaluation or treatment.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. It may include management of nasal obstruction or other ENT conditions, lifestyle measures, further sleep assessment or referral when a sleep-related breathing disorder is suspected.
SNORING & SLEEP CONCERNS
Symptoms and ENT factors that may need assessment
Persistent or troublesome sleep-related symptoms may warrant an ENT evaluation.
Nasal Blockage
Assessment of nasal obstruction that can make comfortable nasal breathing difficult during sleep.
Mouth Breathing
Evaluation of persistent mouth breathing, particularly when nasal obstruction or other ENT causes are suspected.
Disturbed Sleep
Clinical assessment when snoring or upper-airway symptoms are associated with poor or disrupted sleep.
Daytime Sleepiness
Sleep-related symptoms may require further assessment, particularly when significant daytime tiredness is present.
Suspected Sleep Apnea
When symptoms suggest a sleep-related breathing disorder, further sleep evaluation may be appropriate.
SLEEP STUDY
When a sleep study may be needed
An ENT examination can identify nasal and upper-airway factors, but an ENT examination alone cannot diagnose every sleep-related breathing disorder. When symptoms raise concern for obstructive sleep apnea or another sleep disorder, a sleep study may be recommended.
A sleep study records breathing and other physiological parameters during sleep and helps determine whether further sleep-related treatment is required.
