We provide professional support in Sleep Apnea and Snoring.
Relationship between Sleep Apnea and Snoring Sleep apnea is a common disease that causes
pauses in breathing during breathing while sleeping. During sleep apnea,
breathing pauses can range from a few seconds to a few minutes. At the
same time, with sleep apnea, a loud snoring or choking sound may occur
following normal breathing. Sleep apnea is a condition that disrupts sleep
and lowers sleep quality.
Sleep apnea is an insidious disease. Most
of the time, the person is not aware of his illness. Also, sleep apnea
does not show up in routine checkups and blood tests. However, the
relatives of the person living in the same house. Their children or spouse
may become aware of this situation. The most common type of sleep apnea is
obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In this case, loud snoring occurs due to
the narrowing of the airway while trying to breathe. Although the
mentioned sleep apnea is mostly seen in overweight people, it is also seen in
children with tonsil and adenoid enlargement.
Another type of sleep apnea seen is central
sleep apnea. In central sleep apnea, the brain area that controls
breathing cannot send the correct signal for the muscles to work properly, and
in this case, the muscles do not work for a short time and breathing stops. While
central sleep apnea can affect anyone, it is more common in people using
certain medications.
When sleep apnea is left untreated, it can cause
a risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes, as well
as worsening existing heart failure by increasing the risk of heart failure.
After the diagnosis of sleep apnea treatment, the patient should
see a Neurology or ENT doctor. Here, it will be observed whether there are
anatomical disorders that trigger sleep apnea. If there are anatomical
abnormalities, they should be treated. However, if there is no disorder, a
special device is used because there is no way to treat sleep apnea with
medication or surgical intervention. This device keeps the upper airways
open by giving air to the patient. In a few days of use, the patient’s
snoring stops and a quality sleep is achieved.
Health tourism aims to offer medical options to ensure the comfort of patients and their families. In parallel with the high level of education and welfare in developed countries, the provision of health services is also costly. The share of healthcare needs and healthcare expenses of the aging population in developed countries is increasing day by day. Increasing costs of social security costs are forcing social security institutions. In order to overcome these difficulties, social security institutions and private insurance institutions in developed countries are trying to get health services at low cost by making package agreements with countries that offer quality medical services and nearby.
In recent years, tourists come from all over the world for treatment purposes, as Turkey also provides health services at a level that can compete with qualified health services in developed countries. Especially after the 1990s, it was seen that the private sector made serious investments in health services in addition to public health services.
As a result of these developments, private health institutions have started to increase, especially in big cities, at a level that can compete with European standards. Opening these health facilities, which have high costs in terms of construction and operation, to foreign markets is gradually becoming a necessity in terms of reducing these costs. In addition, its geographical location and trained and educated manpower in the health sector are among the important advantages of Turkey in health tourism. In addition to the patients who come for medical purposes, health tourism offers healing with its thermal springs and thermal waters thanks to the natural richness of our country.
