Home Sleep Apnea Testing
Do you find yourself waking up tired, or maybe with a headache or dry mouth? Obstructive sleep apnea could be to blame. This happens when your breathing is interrupted during sleep, often for more than ten seconds.
When you sleep, your muscles relax, including the throat and chest muscles that help you breathe. If you have sleep apnea, relaxation of throat muscles combine with a narrowed airway to interrupt breathing.
At-home sleep apnea testing is an easy, cost-effective way to figure out whether you’re having trouble breathing.
A home sleep apnea test is a very simplified breathing monitor that tracks your breathing, oxygen levels, and breathing effort while worn. It does not fully capture what is monitored with an overnight sleep study. Overnight sleep studies give a more thorough assessment of sleep issues. They are attended by a sleep technologist and capture many more signals, including brainwaves for sleep, muscle tone, and leg movements. For individuals with certain heart, breathing, or neuromuscular problems, an overnight sleep study at a sleep center may be better.
“If you are being told that you snore, snort and gasp, if you have disrupted sleep or are sleepy during the day, and you are overweight or obese, an at-home sleep apnea test may be very appropriate. Talk with your clinical provider .
Sleep apnea ? Steps to be done
RespiArt
1305 Rue Mazurette Suite # 204, Montréal
- I had a good experience at RespiArt with Al. He was nonjudgmental and willing to work around my situation. He is knowledgeable and makes things comfortable. Would highly recommend. :)
Side note: For people with disabilities or limited … More mobility, I do not think there’s an elevator. There are two flights of stairs. Parking around the place can also be tricky. - i am new at this stuff but the service i got from Mr. Al was very good and professional.
I would recommend this to other in need for a CPAP machine...they are the only ones i found that would actually make monthly payments to help people … More who don't have $2000 + to give in one shot.
Thank you very much for your services. - Incredible from the start.....I was sent to the wrong place by Google maps but found my way soon after..
....Almutaz reached me by phone while I was driving and I was so relieved...I didn't want to miss my appointment!!! He waited … More for me!!! Then at the office he educated me on sleep apnea cause I had so many questions.....he takes the time to explain!!! He gives great advice!!! Now we will see what the machine reads for me!! Keep you guys posted!!!! - I encourage people to take their health seriously and consult with Al over at RespiArt. Not only he provides good advice for sleep apnea but he also cares about the BEST way to get treatment without breaking the bank. I would definitely … More recommend to anyone in need.
- I was very happy with my experience with RespiArt for a home sleep apnea testing: I was able to get an appointment very quickly; Almutaz took the time the explain the equipment and sleep apnea to me; the specialist called me 2 days later … More to go over my results. Everything was great :)
