Sleep Apnea and Snoring Specialist in Lisbon
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which the upper airway partially or fully collapses during sleep, causing repeated breathing pauses, oxygen desaturation and fragmented sleep. It impacts energy, concentration, mood and long-term cardiovascular, metabolic and neurocognitive health. This clinic offers a focused English-speaking ENT assessment in central Lisbon to characterise the anatomy and drivers behind your snoring and apnea.

Common symptoms
- Loud, habitual snoring
- Witnessed breathing pauses during sleep
- Non-restorative sleep and morning fatigue
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- Concentration difficulties and brain fog
- Nocturia, reflux, teeth grinding
Assessment and diagnosis
The consultation includes a targeted sleep history, full ENT examination with nasal and pharyngeal endoscopy and referral to a sleep study (polygraphy or polysomnography) when indicated. Identifying anatomical factors — deviated septum, tonsillar hypertrophy, palate length, retrognathia, tongue-base position — is essential to guide the right treatment.
Treatment options
- CPAP — gold standard for moderate to severe OSA
- Mandibular advancement devices — for mild to moderate cases
- Surgery — septoplasty, turbinoplasty, tonsillectomy or palatal surgery in selected anatomical cases
- Lifestyle modifications — weight loss, lateral sleep position, sleep hygiene
- Associated conditions — reflux, nasal obstruction and metabolic drivers are addressed alongside the airway
Integrative dimension
Sleep quality is affected by much more than airway anatomy. Iron deficiency, thyroid function, glucose regulation, late-night eating, alcohol and screen exposure all matter. When relevant, these are integrated into the plan alongside the classical ENT workup (see integrative medicine in Lisbon).
