It seems like everyone we know is struggling with daytime fatigue. But how do we know if our “tired” is due to bad sleep hygiene v/s a serious sleep disorder?

If we feel tired or unrefreshed after waking up even though we have had a full night of sleep, most likely it may be due to sleep apnea. 

Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleeping disorder when your breathing stops and starts repeatedly in your sleep. 

To throw more light into this I have invited highly esteemed robotic sleep apnea surgeon, Dr. Vikas Agrawal. He has been the past President of the Indian Association of Surgeons for Sleep Apnea (IASSA) and is presently the Chairman of the Committee for sleep disorders at the Indian Academy of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery (IAOHNS). He is the Director at the Specialty ENT Hospital also the visiting ENT consultant at Seven Hills Hospital. 

In our today’s podcast show, Dr. Vikas Agrawal discusses the methods of diagnosing and treating sleep apnoea in both adults and children.
