Why Test for Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a common but often undiagnosed condition that can significantly impact your health and quality of life. At Sleep Lease, we provide home sleep studies that can help identify sleep apnea in patients—allowing for early diagnosis, treatment, and improved health outcomes.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. There are two primary types:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Caused by a blockage of the upper airway
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Occurs when the brain fails to send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing
Why Should You Get Tested for Sleep Apnea?
If you or a loved one experience symptoms like loud snoring, gasping for air at night, or excessive daytime fatigue, a sleep study is essential. Testing for sleep apnea offers these critical benefits:
1. Identify Symptoms and Risk Factors
Sleep apnea can go undiagnosed for years. Some common signs include:
Loud snoring
Choking or gasping during sleep
Daytime fatigue or difficulty staying awake
Morning headaches
High blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes
Patients with these risk factors are more likely to develop complications without treatment, making early detection key.
2. Prevent Serious Health Complications
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to severe health problems, including:
Cardiovascular issues like hypertension, heart attack, and stroke
Cognitive decline such as memory loss and increased risk of dementia
Mood disorders, including depression and anxiety
Higher risk of diabetes and metabolic disorders
Improve Quality of Life
Treating sleep apnea can lead to:
Better sleep quality and increased energy levels
Improved overall health and faster recovery from illness or surgery
Reduced risk of future health issues
