  Snoring / sleep study

  Posted by Kkol on April 14, 2025 at 1:18 am

  B. Couple of years ago we’ve been told that our son has big tonsils, and sometimes we hear him snoring. In this case do you think we should see ENT or do sleep study to rule out sleep apnea? And where do you recommend sleep stud in Dubai?

  @Kkol 100% YES! I had mentioned in a previous reply in a separate thread that sleep apnea should be explored given it’s connection to NAFLD, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia.

  The American Hospital have a sleep clinic. Check with your insurance to see if it would be covered.

  I’m glad you’re willing to explore this. It’s one of those foundational issues that often gets overlooked for years, yet it can be at the root of so many health problems.

    Yes will do. But I wasn’t sure we should go to ENT first or directly to sleep study

      @Kkol if you’re suspecting sleep apnea, then take him to the sleep clinic directly. If you’d like to take him to a ENT first who may recommend a sleep study if she suspects a need, then I’d recommend Dr. Annelyse Ballin who takes a more holistic approach.
