Have you noticed discomfort in your sinuses? Is your partner noticing excessive snoring habits? It might be time for you to talk with your .jpg)
doctor about sleep apnea or other head and neck issues. Dr. William Bond, Jr. can be your Washington, DC expert for otolaryngology.
What is otolaryngology?
Otolaryngology is a form of medicine focused on the head and neck. You've probably heard these physicians referred to as "ENTs" or ear, nose, and throat doctors. ENT doctors are some of the most highly trained physicians, requiring at least 15 years of schooling to earn a license.
These physicians diagnose and treat patients who have symptoms in the head and neck area.
What are common symptoms of otolaryngology issues?
Some typical signs that you may have an otolaryngological issue are:
- Sore throat
- Sneezing and runny nose
- Coughing
- Ear pain
- Loss of smell or taste
- Hoarseness or loss of voice
- Difficulty breathing through nose
- Sinus pressure
- Difficulty with balance
- Snoring
Common otolaryngological diagnoses include:
- Sinus infection
- Deviated septum
- Tonsilitis
- Sleep apnea
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breath during sleep. This is caused by an airway obstruction, sometimes from overly relaxed tongue and throat muscles. Other risk factors for sleep apnea include obesity and having a larger tongue or tonsils.
Often, sleep apnea causes disrupted sleep, leading to excessive sleepiness during waking hours. Sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated with your Washington, DC, ENT specialist.
What to expect during your otolaryngology appointment
When you speak with the doctor, be prepared to answer questions about the duration and nature of your symptoms. You can expect the doctor to examine your mouth and throat, as well as your nasal cavities and ear canals.
Don't hesitate to ask questions - you want to make sure you gather as much information as possible while you are face-to-face with your doctor.
