Sleep apnea is a serious disorder that causes your breathing to stop repeatedly while you sleep. These breathing pauses or “apneas” usually last 10 to 30 seconds and can happen many times throughout the night.
Snoring by itself doesn’t necessarily mean that you have sleep apnea. It is true that loud snoring is common in people with this disorder, but there’s a big difference between simple snoring and sleep apnea.
With a prescription from a doctor, the sleep laboratory can diagnose sleep apnea, manage users with the disorder, and provide appropriate treatment.

To make your stay easier, we recommend you read these tips and instructions before you arrive at the hospital.
The day before your surgery
Make sure a responsible person is with you on the day of the surgery and stays with you the first night.
Do not bring any jewelry or valuable items with you to the hospital.
After the surgery, you will need to avoid moving around as much as possible. If the drive home is longer than an hour, arrange to stay overnight somewhere near the hospital.
If you’ve had general or regional anesthesia, you cannot drive for 24 hours after the surgery.

You can leave the hospital as soon as your condition is stable. A nurse will give you the standard recommendations for your health condition and type of surgery.
Make sure you have:
You will be given pain killers after the surgery. If you are in pain, don’t hesitate to tell the nursing staff. Proper pain relief is important to your recovery process. We encourage you to get up quickly to avoid postoperative complications.
Your surgeon and the nursing staff will give you information about your recovery. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to talk to them.
