What Patients Need To Know

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is a common but serious sleep disorder. The disorder is caused by repetitive periods when airflow is interrupted during sleep due to a narrowing or closure to the throat.

Diagnosing Sleep Apnea

Sleep clinics want you to stay as close to your night-time routine as possible in order to get the best results. Most sleep labs will give you check-in instructions a day or two before your study.

Treatment Options

For milder cases of sleep apnea, your doctor may recommend only lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or reducing alcohol consumption.

Living with Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea increases during pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester or with extra weight gain. Seek out all the treatment options. Track how you are feeling daily by creating a log or system.
