What type of surgery is performed to treat sleep apnea?

It all depends on what is causing the sleep apnea in the patient. The doctor has to determine what the obstruction is. If the obstruction is caused by tonsils or adnoids then it would be a tonsilectomy. If the obstruction is because of an elongated uvula than the uvula can be shaved. If it is a deviated septum than surgery to repair the nose may be ordered. If it is caused by weight then weightloss will reduce the problem or eliminate it all together.

Are there any sinus problems related to sleeping. I have been dx with Obstructed Sleep Apnea. I awaken every hour on the hour unable to breath and I find my sinuses are closed. What is happening?

Obstructive Sleep apnea has many causes. A deviated septum can be a cause. Tonsils, adnoids, and elongated uvula can also be causes of sleep apnea. Being over weight is another cause of sleep apnea. A deviated septum is a sinus issue and could be the reason for your OSA. Whatever reason the obstruction is occurring the effect is the same. You will awaken often gasping for air because your airway is being obstructed. To solve this issue you have the option of CPAP therapy or possibly surgery.
