Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment in Bangladesh

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition in which the airway becomes narrow or fully blocked during sleep, causing breathing problems. The body then wakes up briefly to reopen the airway.

Most people don’t remember sleep-related interruptions, but they show up as loud snoring and daytime tiredness. If you are experiencing a snoring problem or lack of quality sleep, you can consult with Prof. Dr. Kamrul Hassan Tarafder.

Common symptoms of OSA

Many adults in Bangladesh think snoring is harmless. But when snoring comes with tiredness and breathing pauses, it’s worth checking. Some of the common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea are:

  • Loud snoring on most nights.
  • Pauses in breathing that others around you notice.
  • Waking up with a dry mouth or choking feeling.
  • Morning headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere.
  • Feeling sleepy at work even after a full night in bed.
  • Forgetting small things.
  • Mood swings without a clear reason.

Key reasons for obstructive sleep apnea

OSA doesn’t start suddenly. There are reasons behind it, though people often don’t pay attention at first. Some of the main reasons for OSP:

  • Blocked nose from allergies or sinus issues.
  • Narrow throat or enlarged tonsils.
  • The tongue or the soft palate may drop back during sleep.
  • Weight gain makes the airway tighter.
  • Family history.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Key reasons

How does OSA affect your health?

If the breathing keeps stopping, the oxygen level drops. That affects the heart, brain, and energy levels. It becomes harder to stay alert. Even simple tasks feel heavy.

  • High blood pressure.
  • Feeling tired even after sleeping.
  • Short temper or irritability.
  • Slow focus
  • Low productivity.

OSA diagnosis at Prof. Dr. Kamrul Hassan Tarafder

Diagnosis is not scary. First, we listen to your symptoms. Then we check your nose, airway, and throat. A simple nasal endoscopy helps us see what’s blocking airflow. If needed, we advise a sleep test.

Some prefer a home test because it feels more natural. Others go for a full lab sleep study. Both are widely used in Bangladesh. Sleep apnea test costs vary from center to center. Most patients describe it as manageable and worth the clarity it gives.

Simple sleep habits that help

OSA seems more common among adults with long-term snoring, people who have gained weight quickly, and those with chronic nasal blockage. A few habits that can help ease nighttime breathing:

  1. Sleep on your side instead of your back.
  2. Keeping the room a bit cool.
  3. Avoiding late heavy meals.
  4. Managing nose blockage before bedtime.
