So I was suffering with mild Sleep apnoea which is when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep. It would wake me several times through the night often snorting or gasping for air and with a totally dried out mouth. During the day I'd feel fatigued and often have eyeball role or fall asleep staring at the PC. Mr Mirza was very thorough and we tried passive measures in the first instance but from the beginning he suggested I would be a suitable candidate for Expansion Pharyngoplasty which widens the airways at the back of the throat to reduce them obstructing the airways whilst asleep. I had the operation in July 2021 and the results have been great. Aponea is rare now, snoring is hugely reduced and sleep is much better. The operation requires a little overnight stay and is quite uncomfortable post op so leave a week or two to recover. Overall though it has been well worth the inconvenience and I'm most grateful to Mr Mirza and his team.
