Sleep Apnea is the medical condition whereby someone stops breathing for short periods of time.
It can result in a variety of medical disorders if not treated. Other treatments include laser surgery - which consists of using a laser to excise the tissue in back of the throat which is responsible for snoring. Laser surgery is quite effective and takes 5-7 days for recovery and is helpful for patients with early apnea as well. Radio Frequency tissue reduction has also been proven very safe and effective for chronically stuffy noses. If you suffer from chronic nasal congestion it would be wise to have an evaluation done by Dr. Weissman.
