Nothing makes you feel better than a really good night’s sleep, but sadly, a large proportion of people struggle to get a quality night’s sleep on a regular basis. Sometimes, sleep disorders are to blame and in some cases, we may be able to help.

We can provide support and advice for patients who suffer from sleep apnoea and snoring to help you and the people around you enjoy peaceful nights.

What is the sleep apnoea blues?

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder, which affects your breathing; in severe cases, it can be extremely dangerous and may even be life-threatening. It is very important that sleep apnoea is managed diligently and patients receive the appropriate care.

With sleep apnoea, breathing is disrupted by a blockage in the airway and this means that the individual can struggle to breathe properly.

For patients with sleep apnoea, we work with local doctors to provide advice and support.

Treatment for sleep apnoea

There are various treatments available for sleep apnoea and often, treatment depends on the severity of the case. In minor cases, making lifestyle changes can have a very positive impact and we are able to offer advice about diet and nutrition and giving up smoking. Other changes may also include cutting down on alcohol consumption and increasing the amount of exercise you do.

In severe cases, it may be necessary to wear a mask to help you breathe during the night; this helps to prevent blockages in the airway.
