Sleep, as a natural need, is vital for all living beings. We spend around 25 years of our lives asleep. Only with healthy and restful sleep can we stay healthy. However, at least 4 million people in Germany suffer from a sleep-related breathing disorder, in particular obstructive sleep apnoea. The "widespread disease of sleep apnoea" has even shown a significant increase in recent years. Characteristic patterns of disturbed breathing in the form of breathing pauses and near-breathing pauses with loud snoring noises disrupt sleep and its recovery function. The "bad" sleep is followed by a bad, unrefreshed day. In affected patients, this leads to a wide range of symptoms such as insomnia, daytime sleepiness with an increased tendency to have accidents or long-term physical complaints such as cardiac arrhythmia, arterial hypertension, stroke, heart attack and cardiac insufficiency.

This explains why in some patients it is not the disturbed or perceived disturbed night's sleep, but the secondary illnesses and their symptoms that lead to a visit to the doctor and a suspected diagnosis of a sleep-related breathing disorder.

In our consultation for snoring and sleep disorders, we specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders such as pathological snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.

Our competent and experienced team is at your disposal for diagnosis and treatment planning as part of our specialised consultation hours if a sleep-related breathing disorder is suspected.
