Sleep Disorders
Do You Have a Sleep Disorder?
Our Board Certified Sleep Medicine Specialist can diagnose and treat a wide array of sleep disorders.
The consequences of sleep apnea include hypertension, poor control of diabetes, as well as increased risk of stroke and heart attack. While people often laugh about snoring, it is indicative of what may very well be a serious and potentially deadly cardiovascular risk factor. As the person snores, there are actually multiple breath-holding episodes occurring. Oxygen levels are dropping to dangerous levels over and over again. Snoring, constant fatigue, a need for or desire to take naps and frequent falling asleep should all be taken seriously, as they may indicate problems that need to be addressed.
Sleep Studies
A simple overnight sleep study allows us to evaluate your symptoms. A common consequence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is daytime sleepiness or tiredness, which is evident with a total score above 10 on the Epworth Sleep Scale. We can administer various tests to help identify whether you have a sleep disorder and, if so, how best to treat it.
We also evaluate a large number of other sleep disorders, including:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Insomnia –> trouble falling asleep, frequent awakenings, early awakenings
- Hypersomnia and daytime sleepiness
- Snoring in children -> often due to enlarged tonsils
- Restless Legs Syndrome
- Periodic Limb Movements
