Sleep Medicine Screening & Sleep Apnea Test

Rest Easy, Live Fully

Quality sleep is the cornerstone of vibrant health. Yet sleep disorders—especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—often go undiagnosed, leading to daytime fatigue, cardiovascular risks, and impaired cognitive function. A Sleep Medicine Screening including a Sleep Apnea Test helps uncover hidden sleep disturbances, guides effective treatment, and restores the restorative power of deep slumber.

 What Is a Sleep Medicine Screening & Sleep Apnea Test?

A Sleep Medicine Screening is a comprehensive evaluation of your sleep patterns, breathing, and overnight physiology. When combined with a dedicated Sleep Apnea Test—either in‑lab polysomnography or at‑home home sleep apnea testing (HSAT)—it pinpoints issues like airway obstruction, abnormal breathing, and oxygen desaturation that interrupt your sleep cycle.

 What’s Included in a Sleep Medicine Screening?

1. Medical & Sleep History Review

• Detailed questionnaire about sleep habits, snoring, daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale)
• Discussion of risk factors: BMI, neck circumference, hypertension, family history

2. Physical Examination

• ENT assessment to check airway anatomy (tonsils, tongue base, nasal passages)
• Measurement of neck size, weight, and blood pressure

3. Overnight Sleep Study Options

• In‑Lab Polysomnography: Gold‑standard test recording brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, breathing, and limb movements
• Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT): Portable device measures airflow, respiratory effort, and oxygen saturation for two to three nights

4. Oximetry & Respiratory Monitoring

• Continuous measurement of blood oxygen levels and breathing pauses (apneas)
• Identification of apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) to classify severity

5. Additional Assessments

• Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) for daytime sleepiness or narcolepsy screening
• Actigraphy: Wrist‑worn device tracking sleep–wake patterns over several days

6. Specialist Consultation & Treatment Planning

• Review of sleep study results with a sleep medicine physician
• Personalized recommendations: CPAP/BiPAP therapy, oral appliances, positional therapy, or surgical options
• Lifestyle counseling: weight management, sleep hygiene, and exercise

 When Should You Have a Sleep Medicine Screening?

Consider screening if you experience:

• Loud, chronic snoring or witnessed breathing pauses
• Excessive daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
• Morning headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat
• High blood pressure, arrhythmias, or unexplained weight gain
• Obesity, large neck circumference, or family history of OSA

Early screening can prevent long‑term complications like heart disease, stroke, and metabolic disorders.
