Symptoms That May Indicate a Sleep Issue
Sleep-related issues can show up in different ways and often go unnoticed until they begin to affect your daily life.
You may benefit from an evaluation if you are experiencing:
Pauses in breathing during sleep (often noticed by a partner)
Difficulty breathing through your nose at night
Loud or persistent snoring
Daytime fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep
Waking up gasping or choking
Morning headaches
Difficulty staying asleep or waking up feeling unrefreshed
Low energy that affects your daily routine
These symptoms are often associated with airway obstruction during sleep and may improve with appropriate evaluation and treatment.
Take our Sleep & Snoring Assessment to see if your symptoms may be related to an underlying airway issue.
Our Approach to Managing Sleep-Related Issues
At Mile High ENT, Dr. Sarmad Sabour begins with understanding how your sleep is being affected and what may be contributing to airway restriction. Whether it is snoring, disrupted sleep, or daytime fatigue, we focus on identifying where breathing is being limited during sleep.
Our approach includes:
Our goal is to improve airflow at night, reduce sleep disruptions, and help you wake up feeling more rested and energized.
Sleep-Related Conditions We Treat
Sleep disturbances are often caused by narrowing or blockage in the airway. Identifying where this restriction occurs is key to choosing the right treatment and improving sleep quality.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep apnea are typically related to reduced airflow during sleep. Snoring occurs when air passes through a partially narrowed airway, while sleep apnea involves repeated pauses in breathing due to obstruction.
We assess the nose, throat, and airway to determine what is causing your symptoms and how it is affecting your sleep. We guide treatment options designed to support safer, more consistent breathing and improve overall sleep quality.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your consultation at Mile High ENT focuses on understanding your symptoms and providing clear direction for next steps.
Dr. Sabour begins by discussing your sleep patterns, symptoms, and how they are affecting your daily life. We then perform a focused evaluation of your nasal passages and airway to identify where breathing may be restricted during sleep.
During your visit, we walk you through what we are assessing and explain how it relates to your symptoms. You will have a clear understanding of what is contributing to your sleep issues.
We outline a treatment plan tailored to your condition. Our goal is to help you improve airflow, sleep more comfortably, and feel more rested day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. While snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, many people snore without having pauses in breathing. An evaluation can help determine whether your snoring is related to airway obstruction or a more serious sleep condition.
Airway obstruction during sleep can occur in the nose or throat due to structural narrowing, soft-tissue relaxation, or inflammation. As muscles relax during sleep, these areas may partially collapse, limiting airflow and disrupting breathing.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the condition. CPAP therapy is commonly recommended, but other options may include addressing nasal obstruction, oral appliance therapy, or procedures to improve airway structure. Care is tailored to your specific needs.
Yes. When airflow through the nose is restricted, you are more likely to breathe through your mouth during sleep, which can increase snoring and disrupt sleep quality.
Treatment is based on a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, airway structure, and any underlying conditions. The goal is to recommend options that improve airflow and sleep quality, tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
