Sleep apnoea

Ever had someone tell you that you snore in your sleep? Or you never feel well rested in the morning, even though you have had a good eight hours to rest? You might be suffering from sleep apnoea — a very common condition amongst people. Dr Rajeev Nerurkar, renowned ENT surgeon and specialist in conditions like sleep apnoea, talks about its symptoms and treatment options.

What is sleep apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is described as a symptom complex (group of symptoms) or a syndrome characterized by erratic breathing while sleeping. Because of this a person’s oxygen level in the blood falls, (sometimes drastically) at regular intervals without the person even knowing it. Typically the person feels very sleepy during the day, wakes up very often during the night, and experiences general fatigue.
