Sleep Apnea Treatment in Albuquerque
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a very serious disorder that is characterized by a partial or a complete cessation of breathing while sleeping. The interruption of breathing is not just a minor nuisance that wakes you up from sleeping, but can also lead to other serious health conditions such as:
- High Blood Pressure
- Stroke
- Heart Failure and Heart Attack
- Diabetes
- Depression
Sleep apnea may only seem like an inconvenience by interrupting your sleep and it may initially only leave you feeling tired—but if left untreated, it can have a major impact on your health.
How is Sleep Apnea Treated?
Until recently, treating sleep apnea was a very expensive and time consuming process that involved being sent to one of Albuquerque's sleep labs to be monitored. Then, if diagnosed with sleep apnea, treatment with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine would be prescribed. However, Doctor on Call has simplified the sleep apnea treatment process.
Doctor on Call has teamed up with the Aviisha Sleep & Wellness Medical Institute to make the diagnosis and treatment of this serious condition easy and affordable for you. If you think you may be suffering from sleep apnea, contact Doctor on Call for an initial exam. If it is determined you should be screened for sleep apnea, the following steps will be taken:
- You will be given a prescription for a polysomnogram from Aviisha and it will be delivered right to your home.
- With easy-to-follow instructions, you will take the sleep test over the course of one night.
- Send the testing equipment and results back to Aviisha for interpretation.
- Doctor on Call will receive and evaluate the results with you.
- If it is determined you require sleep apnea treatment, Doctor on Call will arrange to have a CPAP machine delivered to your home.
By teaming with Aviisha, Doctor on Call makes the screening, diagnosis, and treatment process easy for you! You won't have to spend the night at a sleep lab, which is often expensive.
