How
Do I know If I Have A Sleep Disorder?
There are more than 80 sleep disorders, however,
the great majority are characterized by
excessive sleepiness during waking hours. If you
experience any of these symptoms, you may have a
sleep disorder.
What
is a pulmonologist?
Pulmonology involves the study and treatment of
respiratory diseases and disorders. A pulmonary
physician, or pulmonologist, treats diseases of
the lungs, airways, and all other respiratory
organs. The pulmonologist diagnoses and treats
pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and
other respiratory problems, and uses a variety
of invasive and non-invasive diagnostic
techniques to help patients.
An
overnight sleep study, known as a polysomnogram,
is necessary to diagnose many sleep disorders.
This is a painless procedure in which a variety
of physiological parameters are recorded
(breathing patterns, air flow, oxygen levels,
eye movements, brain waves, heart rate and
rhythm, leg movements, snoring) from electrodes
attached to different parts of the body.
