Say hello to a good night’s sleep with St. Luke’s
There’s a misconception that snoring loudly at night means one is having a relaxing sleep. According to medical experts, snoring might be a sign of a medical condition you need to address.
Snoring is often associated with a sleep disorder called OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA), which increases the risk for serious health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attack, and obesity. It can also cause morning headaches, memory loss, mood changes and poor concentration during the day.
The good news is, there are remedies to reduce snoring. Like many health conditions, lifestyle interventions can make a big difference but often take a long time and involve a lot of patience. Fortunately, there are also several medical treatments available to fix such sleep disorders.
The HSAT device monitors your breathing patterns when you are asleep, which helps diagnose OSA and identify the best treatment plan for your snoring issues.
The package includes a diagnostic test, delivery of the HSAT, personal assistance of a sleep technician in operating the device, and a professional fee of the sleep doctor who will interpret and read the test.
If you are experiencing loud snoring, abrupt awakenings at night, or have been told that your breathing has stopped or choked during your sleep, it is best to consult with a St. Luke's Sleep Specialist for assessment.
At the end of the day, nothing revitalizes us like a good night’s sleep to help us prepare for what tomorrow has in store.
