The good news is that most sleep disorders can be effectively treated. However, when left untreated, they can result in serious health risks and dangerous medical problems. Sleep disorders have been linked to conditions including:
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
- Impotence
- Respiratory failure
- Strokes
- Fatal heart attacks
The most common disorders include obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, narcolepsy, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, behaviorally-conditioned awakenings, sleepwalking, night terrors, bedwetting, and insomnia.
Sleep Lab
For patients requiring a sleep lab study, our program is located in a hotel-like setting with comfortable beds and private bathrooms. Following your overnight study, a light continental breakfast is served in the morning to help you get up and on with your day.
Sleep Results
A board certified pulmonary physician will read your test results, then forward them to you personal physician. Your physician will then be able to consult with you and recommend appropriate follow-up care and treatment options.
If needed, the lab can also refer you to physicians specializing in pulmonology, neurology, psychiatry, or dental/oral surgery.
