Century City CA Sleep Center Diagnoses Sleep Disorders
Do you believe you have a sleep disorder? If you find yourself waking repeatedly through the night, waking exceptionally drowsy in the morning or experiencing morning headaches, dry mouth, sore throat, lack of concentration, irritability, poor performance at your job or feeling especially drowsy through out the day, you may have a sleep disorder.
All too often, people assume sleep problems are a one night occurrence. They assume that the next night will be better, that they just need to go to bed early, etc. Worse still, people often believe there is no solution to their problem.
If you suffer from a sleep disorder, you may be experiencing health problems that are related to your lack of sleep. Chronic sleep problems should be acted upon promptly. There are solutions and normal sleep is definitely possible, once the problem is diagnosed and treated.
The best way to determine if you have sleep problems is to have a sleep study. Our Century City CA sleep center is a wonderful facility for evaluating your potential sleep issues. At a sleep center, you will undergo a sleep study conducted and monitored by a specially trained sleep technologist. The findings of the study will then be forwarded to your referring physician.
If you need a sleep study, the Century City CA sleep center is a great facility for this study. It features comfortable, private rooms with state-of-the-art equipment to monitor your sleep. During your stay at the center, you’ll be electronically monitored for heart rate, breathing patterns, muscle activity, and limb movement. A sleep technologist monitors the over-night test, and the results of the test will be forwarded to a designated sleep specialist for interpretation. The final report, including the interpretation will then be forwarded to your referring physician.
One of the more common sleep disorders is a problem called obstructive sleep apnea. With this form of apnea, your throat structures close during sleep, prevent air from passing through the throat to the lungs. Some of the symptoms that indicate you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea are loud snoring and disturbed sleep patterns. This common sleep disorder may have some serious consequences, including cardiac problems. That’s why it’s so important to treat sleep disorders if you suspect there’s a problem.
Sleep apnea can be treated very effectively. One of the more common ways of treating sleep apnea is with the use of a CPAP machine. A CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) provides a constant source of air to the respiratory system of patients. A mask fits over the nose (and mouth), the constant air flow forces the through tissue open, preventing obstruction and making breathing easy throughout the night.
During a sleep study at our Century City CA sleep center, you will be evaluated for sleep apnea. If your condition is sleep apnea, and your physician recommends the use of a CPAP machine for you, our staff will help fit you with a mask and a CPAP machine.
Sleep problems are serious and can have long range effect on your health. But with diagnosis and treatment, you can feel better and take preventative steps to keep your health in good shape.
