Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea refers to a disorder in which a person experiences periods of interrupted breathing during sleep due to obstruction of the breathing pathways. If untreated, it may cause severe complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and poor functioning in the daytime.

You may be required to visit a head and neck doctor in Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya if you experience:

  • Loud, habitual snoring
  • Difficulty breathing during sleep
  • Paused in breathing
  • Morning headaches
  • Daytime drowsiness or sleepiness
  • Poor memory or lack of concentration
  • Irritability or mood swings

In case of such symptoms, you should consult a sleep apnea specialist in KL or PJ to be diagnosed and treated.

Our Sleep Apnea Services

The ENT Doctor offers a forward-thinking, ENT-led intervention and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. In addition to CPAP treatment, we focus on assessing and treating the structural factors that contribute to airway blockage. Our services include:

Tonsillectomy


Removal of enlarged tonsils that promote obstruction of the airways.

Partial Epiglottidectomy


Surgical trimming of the epiglottis when it collapses and blocks the airway during sleep.

Adenoidectomy


Removal of adenoid tissue located at the back of the nose to provide a larger airway

Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE)


A sleep test, a diagnostic test performed under sedation, is used to compare airway constriction during sleep.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)


This is an operation that removes surplus tissue and enlarge the throat to give a wider airway.

Snoreplasty


Minimally invasive to stiffen the soft palate and reduce snoring.

The Tongue, Coblation Channelling.


Minimal insult of reduction of the tongue base tissue during coblation technology.

Home Sleep Study Coordination


We conduct home-based sleep research to provide a convenient and effective diagnosis of your surroundings in a comfortable setting.

Robotic-assisted Lingual Tonsillectomy


Extraction of lingual tonsils with high accuracy at the tongue base with the help of a robot.

    Frequently asked questions

    When should I see a sleep apnea specialist?

    You should consider seeing a sleep apnea specialist in PJ or KL if you experience:

    - Loud snoring
    - Difficulty breathing during sleep
    - Pauses in breathing (sleep apnea)
    - Morning headaches
    - Daytime sleepiness or fatigue
    - Poor concentration
    - Memory issues

    If you notice these symptoms, it may be a sign of a sleep-related breathing disorder. Consulting an ENT specialist can help identify the cause and provide effective treatment options for better sleep and overall health.
    These are signs of obstructive sleep apnea, a serious condition that, if untreated, can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and decreased daytime performance.

    Our sleep apnea clinic in KL and PJ offers comprehensive, ENT-led services for both adults and children. These include advanced diagnostic tools like Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) and home sleep studies, as well as a wide range of treatment options.

    What makes your sleep apnea treatment approach different?

    At The ENT Doctor, our approach goes beyond CPAP machines. As an ENT-led centre, we assess and treat the structural causes of sleep apnea, not just the symptoms. Our ENT doctor perform procedures that directly address obstructions in the nose, throat, and tongue base, offering patients long-term solutions. We also provide multidisciplinary care by collaborating with respiratory physicians, sleep specialists, dentists, speech therapists, and dietitians to offer a complete, personalised treatment journey from diagnosis to follow-up

    What is Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE), and why is it used?

    DISE is a diagnostic test performed under sedation that allows our sleep apnea specialists to observe how your airway behaves during sleep. This helps identify the specific sites of obstruction and guides the best treatment plan, whether surgical or non-surgical.

    Is sleep apnea surgery available at your clinic in PJ or KL?

    Yes. Our ENT clinic in PJ and KL offers several surgical options depending on the site of obstruction. These include UPPP to widen the throat, tongue base reduction using coblation, robotic-assisted lingual tonsillectomy for precise removal of lingual tonsils, and nasal valve suspension to improve nasal airflow.

    Do you offer sleep apnea care for children?

    Yes, we provide specialised care for paediatric sleep apnea. Procedures like tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are commonly performed in children when enlarged tissues are obstructing the airway during sleep. Our ENT specialists tailor treatments to each child’s condition, ensuring safe and effective care in a supportive environment.

    Can I get tested for sleep apnea at home?

    Absolutely. Our clinic offers home sleep study coordination, which allows patients to be tested in the comfort of their own home. This convenient and cost-effective method is ideal for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea and determining the best course of treatment based on your sleep patterns and oxygen levels.

    What are some minimally invasive treatments for snoring?

    For patients with snoring not linked to severe sleep apnea, we offer snoreplasty, a minimally invasive procedure to stiffen the soft palate and reduce tissue vibration. We also offer nasal valve suspension and partial epiglottidectomy in selected cases. These treatments are ideal for patients looking for relief from chronic snoring without undergoing major surgery.
