Sleep-disordered breathing can significantly impact quality of life, cardiovascular health, and daytime function. Dr Kaul provides specialist assessment and treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea and related conditions.
What Is Sleep Apnoea?
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition where the airway repeatedly becomes blocked during sleep, causing breathing to stop and start. This leads to poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and increased health risks.
Symptoms May Include
- Loud snoring
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Witnessed breathing pauses during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Mood changes
Diagnostic Assessment
Your consultation may include:
- Sleep history questionnaire
- Clinical examination
- Sleep study (polysomnography)
- Home sleep testing
- Assessment of risk factors
- Cardiovascular evaluation
- Airway assessment
Treatment Approach
Treatment plans are personalised based on the underlying cause and may include:
- CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy
- Weight management advice
- Oral appliances if appropriate
- Regular follow-up and monitoring
- Lifestyle modifications
- Positional therapy
- Treatment of nasal obstruction
Why Early Assessment Matters
Untreated sleep apnoea increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Early treatment improves sleep quality, daytime function, and overall health.
