Snoring Evaluation & Treatment

Snoring assessment before any treatment

Snoring evaluation reviews snoring and sleep-related breathing before treatment is chosen. Assessment comes first, and the visit does not claim to cure sleep apnoea.

• Snoring, witnessed pauses and daytime sleepiness are discussed
• Nasal blockage, tonsil size and factors linked to weight are noted
• A sleep study is considered when the history suggests it is needed

Sleep-related breathing is reviewed carefully

Snoring can be simple, or it can sit beside obstructed breathing in sleep. The evaluation tries to tell those apart rather than offering one treatment to everyone.

• The nose, palate and tonsils are examined when they may contribute
• Sleep apnoea is considered as a possibility, not assumed and not claimed as cured
• Reports of pauses in breathing are taken seriously

Options that do not claim to cure apnoea

Tailored options are discussed after the assessment. They may include nasal treatment or other measures, and none is presented as a cure for sleep apnoea.

• Treatment is matched to what the assessment suggests
• A procedure is considered only if the findings support it
• Follow-up reviews snoring and does not promise that apnoea has been cured
