With about 60 million Americans suffering from a poor night’s sleep, it’s not surprising that many turn to their physician for help. Sleep problems can adversely affect overall health, job performance and personal relationships.
West Boca's Sleep Diagnostic Center can help diagnose sleep problems. The Center treats persons who suffer from insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty in staying asleep, snoring, medical problems that may occur or worsen during sleep and other conditions.
Common Sleep Disorders
• Snoring
• Sleep Apnea
• Narcolepsy
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• Chronic Insomnia
• Muscle Twitching |
What To Expect
Most patients are referred to the Sleep Diagnostic Center by their primary care physician, who prescribes the sleep test. Proper diagnosis of sleep disorders sometimes requires an overnight sleep study or polysomnogram.
Patients have the sleep study by spending a night at the comfortable, private and well-appointed Center, decorated like a hotel room. Advanced technology and trained technologists are in a nearby room. The evaluation includes EEG and EKG monitoring, and tests for eye movements, muscle tension, respiratory activity and blood-oxygen saturation. Board-certified sleep physicians, registered polysomnographic technologists and a professional administrative staff monitor and provide quality sleep diagnostics and treatment.
Results of your sleep study will be returned to your physician along with a recommended plan for treatment.
Diagnosing Children And Adults
Because sleep disorders affect children and adults, the Sleep Diagnostic Center is set up to treat both. Special accommodations allow parents to stay with children who are being tested.
