Houston ENT Doctor Appears On Local News

November 01, 2019 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

The Houston, Texas based allergist Pasha Snoring & Sinus Center is celebrating the recent appearance of Dr. Raza Pasha on the local news. Dr. Raza Pasha went on Great Day Plus Houston to share information about sleep apnea and the consequences of this condition.

In a discussion with the host of the show, Dr. Raza Pasha, Lead Otolaryngologist at the Pasha Snoring & Sinus Center, said, “As you know, sleep apnea is a condition where you literally stop breathing at night. It can be deadly and it has serious consequences. First of all, you wake up tired, so when you have sleep apnea you don’t have good quality sleep. What happens is you stop breathing at night; your oxygen level goes down and then you start to gasp. It’s not a snore— it’s a gasp, because you’re suffocating to death.”

As Dr. Pasha explains, sleep apnea can sometimes lead to death by suffocation. It causes a host of lesser negative effects as well, such as decreased oxygen in the patient’s body, shortness of breath, strain on the lungs, high blood pressure, and more. Sleep apnea can also be the direct cause of various heart and lung diseases.

Dr. Pasha also explained how sleep apnea may be detected and treated. “One of the tests that we do, among many, is to get what's called a standard sleep study. That's when you use a little device to measure the patients’ sleeping at night. At our clinic, we send the device to them. Sometimes you have to go to a center but, in most cases, you can now do it at home.”

According to Dr. Pasha, one of the methods to deal with sleep apnea is to use a CPAP machine. As he put it, once the doctors have determined the cause of the sleep apnea and know the severity of it, they may recommend that the patient use a CPAP machine. CPAP – which stands for “continuous positive airway pressure” – is a positive airway pressure ventilator and it applies mild air pressure on a continuous basis to the patients’ airways. This helps people who can breathe spontaneously on their own, but need help keeping the airway open.

However, Dr. Pasha also suggests that behavioural modification exercises, or even surgery, can help in certain situations. Justin, a patient who had recently undergone reconstruction surgery to help with his sleep apnea issues, said, “I was having problems sleeping. Not getting a full night's rest of sleep and waking up not refreshed. Snoring a lot and disturbing my significant other.” He then decided to visit Dr. Pasha and have the surgery done. He explained his experience following the procedure, saying, “Now I feel much more refreshed in the mornings. I’m getting a full night's worth of sleep and I have many fewer allergies. It was definitely worthwhile to visit Dr. Pasha. He knows what he's talking about and helps explain it all and helps you understand it.”

Dr. Pasha added, “Anybody who has significant snoring or has stopped breathing at night should consider coming in, for sure, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure, diabetes or a history of heart conditions. Sleep apnea, as you know, can be quite deadly, and it's important that we work these things out early.”

Dr. Pasha’s expertise on the matter is backed up by a number of other patients. On Google, the clinic is rated 4.7/5. In a recent five star review, Tan Nguyen says, “Dr Pasha, Sunny, and their entire staff were exceptional throughout the entire process. My father in law needed a c-pap machine because of his sleep apnea and they fixed him right up! He is having the best sleep of his life. Thank you, guys!”

In another review, Pablo Rubio says, “Very caring doctor, PA, and staff. Amazing bedside manner and knowledge. I had my sleeping machine updated and it feels as if I had been driving a 98 Ford Focus and switch to a 2019 Mercedes Benz model.”
