Valencia Sleep Apnea Patients
Do You Suffer From Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition can go undiagnosed for many years in some situations. You may even think that you or your spouse simply have a snoring problem and try a variety of devices to stop snoring. At Valencia Headache and Sleep Treatment Center, we offer sleep studies and effective treatment options for sleep apnea.
Sleep Study to Diagnose Sleep Apnea
If you have not been previously diagnosed with sleep apnea, but believe you have the symptoms, our Valencia sleep center can help. You will need to undergo a sleep study, which can be done in your own bed and home. We use a special device which you will wear during sleep to take recordings and measurements of very specific events, such as time spent sleeping and waking up.
The sleep study will be used to determine several factors, such as:
- How often and loud you snore.
- How many times you stop breathing.
- How long you stop breathing.
- How long you spend awake.
- How long you spend sleeping deeply.
- Your heart rhythm and heart rate.
- What position you sleep in.
How Does Sleep Apnea Affect Me?
You may not be aware of the fact that you have sleep apnea unless you live with someone who has heard you snoring or experienced the other symptoms. However, if sleep apnea is not properly treated, it can lead to the development of serious medical and mental conditions.
For example, those diagnosed with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea are more likely to experience accidents at work, in the home, and on the road. People who suffer from sleep apnea are also more likely to develop heart conditions.
