Vik Veer - ENT Surgeon
I am a Sleep and Ear Surgeon working for the NHS in London UK. I started this channel to help people with their snoring & sleep apnoea problems and ear problems during the COVID outbreak. I felt it was hard for people to get help and and there was a lot of incorrect information about these conditions. I hope this channel provides you with help and sometimes reassurance about your medical conditions.
Obviously this channel is not a substitute for seeing a doctor and I would always follow their advice. These videos are purely to help you understand these conditions only. When you do get to meet your doctor, hopefully I would have given you some information so that you are able to have a meaningful and productive consultation with them.
If you want to see me as a patient for medical reasons, please ask your GP to refer you to see me on the NHS for free.

One of my favourite bits of feedback this week —
“I don’t snore anymore since using the Side Sleeping Pro… but I’m going to keep using it even though it looks like there’s a surfboard in my bed!” 🏄♂️😄
If it looks like a surfboard but helps people (and their partners) finally sleep peacefully — I’m fine with that.

Dear all - my next video about mandibular advancement devices will be released at midday GMT.
I want to thank Silensor for giving me a free device to review - very kind of them. (they haven't paid me for this video - there were no questions asked at all - lovely company). I used it for 4 months - in the video I describe my journey with it - who these devices are for, how they work, who should not use them etc.
Hope you find the video useful - it is about 30 minutes long! so i'm warning you now....
Enjoy!

The great Emma Cooksey (from Sleep Apnoea Stories - www.sleepapneastories.com/ & ProjectSleep - project-sleep.com/) has made a reel on Instagram about my Side Sleeping Pro pillow system.
And I agree - it is a bit 'bonkers'! - so glad it is working for her.

P.s if you haven't checked out Emma's podcast or ProjectSleep mission - check them out - I personally learnt a lot!

I am speaking about the Genio Implant for snoring & sleep apnoea at a Hope2Sleep Charity webinar on Monday 7th July (with Questions & Answers). Please register here - us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/1217509386205/WN_…
This might be also useful for the American viewers as I believe any day now the Genio will be FDA approved and there are about 70 surgeons in the US who are ready to start implanting.
If you want to know more about the implant - have a look at this video.

Can you wear a full-face CPAP mask and still sleep comfortably in the recovery position?
My soon-to-be-released side sleeping pillow system is designed to make sleeping in the recovery position more comfortable. This position naturally encourages the tongue to fall forward, helping to keep the airway open — often recommended for people who snore or have sleep apnoea.
However, wearing a CPAP mask in this position has traditionally been difficult.
This is me testing a full-face CPAP mask on the new pillow system. (Teaser alert: you're only seeing the top half of one of the pillow system — the full setup weighs around 6.5kg!)
No clinical claims here, just personal opinion. But if you're using CPAP and find positional sleep uncomfortable, this might offer a useful solution.
Launching soon.

UK first Genio Implant as a day case (patient has already gone home on the same day) performed today. See photo of the amazing team who helped me complete this operation. Apparently first in Europe - however we are checking this :)
The Genio implant is a small chip inserted just below the chin which stops the throat from closing up during sleep. It has been found to reduce sleep apnoea so patients don't have to use CPAP anymore.
this treatment is completely free on the NHS. All patients with moderate or severe sleep apnoea are allowed this treatment for free on the NHS. Come to Queen's hospital, Romford, Essex from anywhere in the country for your treatment.
For more information see below..

I've been doing more vertical / portrait videos recently as a test. Youtube seems to be heading more towards this format and they tell me I need to go portrait. I think I also should think about copying these videos to tiktok etc as I am going to be selling my pillows soon so I need to think about views to get the word out.
So what do you think? keep doing landscape horizontal videos or move to portrait? Vote below - Thanks
