Symptoms We Treat

Consequences of sleep apnea include high blood pressure, other cardiovascular diseases, and weight gain.  People with untreated sleep apnea may also complain of:

• Falling asleep inappropriately
• Morning headaches
• Memory problems
• Feelings of depression
• Reflux nocturia (a need to use the bathroom frequently at night)
• Impotence 

We commonly complete evaluation of patients with:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
• Circadian Disorders of the Sleep-Wake Cycle
• Central Sleep Apnea Syndrome
• Excessive Day Time Sleepiness
• Periodic Leg Movement Disorder
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• Parasomnias
• Insomnia
• Hypersomnia
• Narcolepsy
• Snoring

Children with untreated apnea may be hyperactive.  Untreated sleep apnea, like sleep deprivation, may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle accidents.  Apnea is a concern with certain medications and general anesthesia.
