Decoding Sleep Apnea 

Obstructive sleep apnea involves recurrent breathing pauses during sleep. These pauses, ranging from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, can occur multiple times throughout the night, lowering blood oxygen levels, straining the heart, and disrupting your precious sleep.

Tailored Treatment Approaches for Your Needs 

Our team of experienced sleep specialists begins with a meticulous review of your medical history and a comprehensive physical examination to establish your diagnosis. A sleep study is sometimes conducted as well but is not always necessary.

Our dedicated otolaryngologists and sleep experts offer a diverse array of innovative treatments for sleep apnea and related concerns. While lifestyle adjustments can significantly alleviate symptoms for some patients, we are equipped to an array of treatments when needed – all under one roof.

CPAP Therapy: A Leading Solution 

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is one of the most prescribed treatments for managing sleep apnea. For this non-invasive treatment, you will wear a CPAP mask connected to a bedside machine. The mask delivers a continuous stream of air, preventing airway collapse during sleep.

Our commitment at Texas ENT Specialists extends beyond just prescribing CPAP. We prioritize your comfort by ensuring optimal mask fitting and we provide ongoing maintenance support to maximize the effectiveness of your CPAP therapy.
