Common Signs of Sleep Apnea:
- Habitual Snorer
- High Blood Pressure
- Memory Problems
- Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
- Insomnia
- Overweight
- Stop Breathing for Seconds when Asleep
Why Have A Sleep Study:
- You have symptoms of sleep apnea, particularly excessive snoring and daytime sleepiness.
- A sleep study performed in a qualified sleep lab is the best method for diagnosing sleep apnea.
- Correct diagnosis leads to early treatment of OSA that can reduce your symptoms and risk for complications such as high blood pressure, high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension, depression, irregular heart rhythms, heart failure, coronary artery disease and stroke.
- A complete sleep test can rule out other sleep related problems such as narcolepsy or restless leg syndrome.
- NO risks are involved in undergoing a sleep study.
"Like high blood pressure, sleep apnea is a silent disease that can kill. Persons with sleep apnea are more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, atherosclerosis, weight gain and hypertension…" Julie Jacques, D.O., Sleep Center Medical Director
