Can you please tell me what are the further procedures I have to take up to completely get rid of my snoring problem. Please help!
Septoplasty
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query and medical history; it suggests that you may be suffering from the deviated nasal septum and it may be the one cause of the snoring.
Most of snoring condition treated by losing weight if you obese, quitting smoking, avoid alcohols and sedatives if you have. But in your condition it also requires the septoplasty surgery for the correction of the deviated nasal septum. This is generally focused on improving a narrow nasal passage.
It is prudent to undergo a sleep study i.e. polysomnography prior to performing septoplasty to assure that snoring is not a manifestation of obstructive sleep apnea.
I personally advise you to go for thorough examination of nose, throat and sleep study before going this surgery.
Thanks
Thanks for the detailed explanation. The doctor suggested me to undergo 2 tests for more detailed analysis. 1. DISE 2. Sleep study.
Can you please tell me if DISE is advisable ? because each of these test cost around 8k . Little concerned about the cost. Also, are these tests covered under insurance?
Mostly Test are not covered in many insurance

Hi,
I have gone through your follow up query; and suggest you that you may go for the both test and faith on your doctor.
For your kind information most health insurance company does not cover these tests in policy if they are done for diagnostic purpose only. Please call your insurance company and check with them.
Thanks
