Sleep Care in the Central Valley
Diagnosis and treatment
The Adventist Health Sleep Apnea Center is here to help you
Nothing is as disruptive to leading a normal, productive life as the inability to get good, restful sleep. Almost everyone experiences an occasional sleepless night, but chronic sleeplessness may be a sign of an undiagnosed sleep disorder.
You may have a sleep disorder if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue
- Snoring loudly with periods of no breathing
- Falling asleep while driving or doing other daytime activities
- Waking with a dry throat
- Experiencing morning headaches
- Irritability and mood changes
- Sleeping restlessly
At least 40 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders, and 12 million of those have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a serious condition characterized by interrupted breathing that prevents air from reaching the lungs. This can lead to snoring, excessive daytime fatigue and moodiness. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to heart disease and stroke.
Diagnosis and treatment
Finding the cause of a sleep disorder is critical for treatment. Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, are commonly diagnosed with an overnight sleep study.
The Adventist Health Sleep Apnea Center offers two comfortable sleep labs in Hanford and Tulare, where our team of medical professionals provide complete diagnostic expertise and individualized treatment plans in collaboration with your primary care provider.
Using the latest technology to record and monitor your sleep patterns, heart activities, breathing and body movements, our specialists facilitate your sleep study and interpret the results. The results and possible recommendations are then sent to your primary care provider, with whom you will discuss and receive proper treatment and follow-up care.
Most people find relief when their sleep disorder is treated, and they can once again enjoy a good night’s sleep.
