Frequently Asked Questions

Treatment for sleep apnea varies depending on the severity and cause of the condition. Common treatments include lifestyle changes such as weight loss, positional therapy, the use of a CPAP machine, oral appliances, and, in some cases, surgery to correct anatomical obstructions in the airway.
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness. A definitive diagnosis is made through a sleep study, which can be conducted at a specialized sleep center.
Surgery can be a very effective treatment for sleep apnea, particularly when there is a clear anatomical obstruction that can be corrected. Procedures such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and rhinoplasty can improve airflow and significantly reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of sleep apnea. The success of the surgery depends on the individual patient's anatomy and the specific procedure performed.
Recovery from sleep apnea surgery varies depending on the procedure performed. Most patients can expect some discomfort, swelling, and nasal congestion for a few days to a week after surgery. Dr. Guerra Gil provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
Most major insurance plans provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, including sleep studies, CPAP machines, and surgery. Our office will work with you to verify your insurance coverage and provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs.
