When it comes to health, even a small problem like snoring can deeply affect one’s quality of life. For years, Mrs. Indra Krishna Reddy from Hyderabad struggled with severe snoring that left her and her family sleepless. Her husband, Mr. Krishna Reddy, was especially affected — nights were restless, and days were filled with fatigue.
Determined to find a permanent solution, Mrs. Indra began her journey through multiple hospitals in India and abroad. However, it was at Microcare ENT Hospital, KPHB Colony, Hyderabad, under the care of Dr. Sriprakash Vinnakota, that her life finally changed.

Dr. Sriprakash Vinnakota, an experienced ENT specialist, first introduced Mrs. Indra’s case to the audience:
“Mrs. Indira Krishna Reddy came to us with severe snoring that affected both her and her family. We performed two surgeries — one on the palate and another on the base of the tongue — to open up her airway and improve breathing during sleep.”
He explained that the palate surgery widened the airway by reshaping tissues from the tonsil to the lateral pharyngeal wall, giving her more space in both width and depth. A second surgery, using advanced Coblation technology, targeted the base of the tongue, removing excess tissue and performing a Hyoid suspension to add an extra centimeter of airway space.
After these procedures, Mrs. Indra finally experienced peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.
Before meeting Dr. Sriprakash, Mrs. Indra had visited several ENT hospitals. Many doctors advised her to use machines like CPAP, while others claimed surgery wasn’t advisable. She even planned to fly to the USA, where her sister — also a doctor — lives.
“Everywhere I went, the advice was different,” she said. “Some told me there was no cure, and some scared me about surgery. I felt hopeless.”
Her turning point came when a close friend suggested Microcare ENT Hospital and recommended meeting Dr. Sriprakash Vinnakota before taking any final step. That decision changed her life.
When Mrs. Indra first met Dr. Sriprakash, she felt an instant sense of comfort. His calm explanation and detailed diagnosis gave her confidence.
“God is not somewhere else,” she said. “God is in the doctor. When Dr. Sriprakash explained my condition, I felt I was finally in safe hands.”
She decided to proceed with surgery, bringing along her husband and son. After just one and a half months, her life completely transformed.
Post-surgery, Mrs. Indra could finally sleep peacefully. Her husband too found relief after years of sleepless nights.
“Doctor told me 90% improvement, but I feel 100% cured,” she shared with joy. “Earlier, I used to wake up 4–5 times a night, gasping for air. Now I sleep like a child.”
She noticed several positive changes — her fatigue disappeared, skin tone improved, and dark circles vanished. She no longer woke up tired or struggled to breathe while talking.
“Before surgery, I couldn’t even climb stairs without getting tired. Now I avoid lifts and walk freely. My mind feels fresh every morning,” she said proudly.
According to Dr. Sriprakash, snoring is caused by airway obstruction during sleep.
“When the airway narrows, oxygen supply to the brain decreases, making you feel tired during the day. That’s what Mrs. Indra experienced — a condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea.”
He clarified that obesity is not always the cause.
“Even healthy individuals can have airway blockage due to tissue laxity, nasal deviation, or tongue base obstruction. Snoring is treatable once the cause is identified,” he added.
Dr. Sriprakash further explained that while CPAP machines are an option for elderly patients or those who can’t undergo surgery, surgical treatment offers long-term relief for active individuals like Mrs. Indra who travel frequently and seek freedom from lifelong devices.
Mrs. Indra describes her recovery as life-changing:
“After the surgery, I feel like I climbed Mount Everest. I feel victorious! My brothers also suffer from snoring, and I’m telling them to visit Microcare ENT Hospital. I am living proof that snoring can be cured.”
She also shared how snoring had affected her confidence and beauty. Lack of sleep made her skin dull and her eyes dark. Now, she feels rejuvenated and says her face reflects her happiness and health.
“If you’re suffering from snoring, please don’t ignore it. It can even affect your heart. Take action early,” she advises others.
Dr. Sriprakash concluded,
“Many people believe snoring cannot be cured, but with modern ENT techniques, more than 90% of cases can be treated successfully. Mrs. Indra’s case is a perfect example — she’s healthy, confident, and glowing again.”
He added that Microcare ENT Hospital in KPHB Colony, Hyderabad, continues to help patients from across India and abroad find relief from snoring and sleep apnea.
Mrs. Indra Krishna’s story is an inspiration for anyone suffering from chronic snoring.
After meeting Dr. Sriprakash Vinnakota at Microcare ENT Hospital, KPHB Colony, Hyderabad, she regained not just her sleep but also her confidence and happiness.
“Now, I climb stairs without fatigue, talk comfortably, and feel fresh every morning. My life has changed completely.”
