Snoring & Obstructive Sleep Apnea Testing and Treatment Program
Does your family complain about your constant snoring?
Do you feel sleepy during the day - even after a "good"
night's sleep?
You may suffer from chronic snoring...or your
snoring may be a sign of a serious disorder called obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA). OSA occurs when breathing is interrupted during sleep.
Risk factors for sleep apnea include:
- Excessive weight - Heavy smoking - Sedative medications
- Pregnancy - High blood pressure - Diabetes
- Asthma - Allergies - Family history
Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems
including high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, irregular
heartbeats and heart attacks. Untreated sleep apnea can also impair
your performance on the job and put you at greater risk for auto
accidents.
State-of-the-art evaluation tools
Our leading-edge evaluation techniques for sleep apnea
and snoring include:
- No-cost, at-home sleep apnea screening system - This user-friendly
device assesses patients right in their own home. It is a valuable
tool for confirming symptoms and convincing reluctant patients
of the need for a full sleep study.
- Polysomnography ("sleep study") - Continuously records
critical body functions during an overnight period in our state-of-the-art
sleep center - providing the most comprehensive and accurate assessment
possible.
