Nasal surgery to remove obstructions from the airway is associated with improvements in quality of life for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and symptoms of nasal blockages.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by episodes of partial or complete blockage of the airway during sleep, leading to snoring and daytime sleepiness. Blockage of the nasal passages also is common in OSA patients, causing fragmented sleep and leading to daytime tiredness and poor quality of life.
Sleep disruption is common, especially during times when you may feel emotionally overwhelmed. Anxiety, relentless replaying of the day’s events, and heightened emotions may significantly interfere with your sleep. Lack of sleep robs you of needed rest, making management of your illness more difficult.
Some people, for a variety of reasons, still have sleep disturbances related to the events of September 11, 2001, which saw the destruction of the World Trade Centers and partial destruction of the Pentagon. Other people, especially family members and friends of deployed American military personnel, don’t always sleep well. There are always those people who are stressed about things, such as stress at work, lack of a job, loss of a job, family issues, or financial issues.
