Snoring vs. Sleep Apnea: What’s the Difference?

Harmless snore—or apnea?

Snoring is sound; obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) includes pauses, choking/gasping, or restless sleep with daytime fatigue.

Why care

Untreated OSA increases risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, and car accidents.

Getting tested

Home sleep testing is common and comfortable; results guide therapy (CPAP, oral devices, weight loss, nasal treatments). We are one of the few ENT's in Tampa Bay to offer the new Inspire^® implant .
