How Locals Suffering With Orland Park Obstructive Sleep Apnea Find Help

By Nelson Cozad


If you have Orland Park obstructive sleep apnea it can be very difficult to get proper rest. You may find sleeping easy for a little while, but continue to awaken at all hours of the night. As a result, you could already be worn out when you get up in the morning and prepare for your day. Fortunately, professional help is available.

If you snore at night, it might be a minor inconvenience for your partner. However, loud snoring could mean there are more serious problems lying just beneath the surface (apnea). Sometimes the airways can become blocked and stop one from breathing, forcing one to awaken to breathe.

If you have a sleeping problem, you should seek professional help. Your local Sleep Medicine Center can provide extensive testing to see what your problem is. They also can provide effective solutions to many of your difficulties, so you can get a good night's rest.

When you visit the center, they may ask to do a study on your sleeping habits. This may include a CPAP test. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. In addition to a lot of electrodes attached to the body you have a special mask to breathe through. This will measure your breathing as you are sleeping.

Before your testing period, make sure not to drink coffee, tea, or anything with caffeine twelve hours beforehand. You will need to fill out an extensive questionnaire, and you can do this at home. It is recommended to bring a pillow from home to make sleeping easier. Your environment will be similar to a normal bedroom.

Your study may reveal the cause of your problem and CPAP equipment may be the solution. It will keep your airways clear as you breathe through the night. Obesity can be a contributing factor, so you may notice benefits with a good weight loss program. In a few cases, surgery may be the solution to Orland Park obstructive sleep apnea problems.
