What can I do about treating Sleep Apnea?

Step 1: Diagnosis
The journey to managing sleep apnea begins with diagnosis. Here's what you need to do:

1. Consult Your GP: Schedule an appointment with your general practitioner (GP) and get them to fill out a referral to have a diagnostic sleep study.
2. Diagnostic Sleep Study: Conducted in the comfort of your own home, this overnight test monitors various aspects of your sleep, including breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and brain activity.
3. Interpreting the Results: After the sleep study, a sleep specialist will analyze the data to determine if you have sleep apnea and its severity. This information is crucial for guiding treatment decisions.

Step 2: Treatment Initiation
Once diagnosed with sleep apnea, it's time to start treatment. Here's what to expect:

1. Contact Us: If your sleep study confirms sleep apnea, it's essential to reach out to us. Your GP may refer you directly to our services for further evaluation and treatment initiation.
