sleep study information
WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA TESTING?
Sleep breathing disorders can have serious consequences if left untreated. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping people who have sleep apnea. The first step is to test you for the condition. This is an overnight test called polysomnography, a simple and painless way to find out if you have sleep apnea.
You will need to visit your General Practitioner to get a referral. We will then arrange a sleep test that you can do in the comfort of your own bed. On the evening of your appointment, we will set you up for the test. This will involve attaching equipment to your chest and electrodes to certain parts of your body. This will record the following when you sleep: your airflow, breathing patterns, snoring, the oxygen level in your blood, your brain waves, heart rate, eye and leg movements, and your body position. All these can effectively diagnose if you have a sleep disorder.
We will send your test results back to your GP who will discuss your treatment options with you and help you find the best solution for your sleep apnea.
