Patients Apnea

Talking To Your Doctor About
Sleep Disorder

The media has not given this deadly problem the exposure it requires. For that reason, most Americans don't realize the severity of this problem. To make matters worse many physicians are not trained to look for these symptoms. It's barely addressed in most medical schools and it's only recently beginning to show up on the radar of more seasoned physicians.

Most doctors will acknowledge that sleep apnea and disease-related breathing problems can be very serious but unfortunately most are still unaware of the depth of this problem. We suggest that you take the Epworth Sleepiness Test results and a list of your symptoms to your doctor if you have any concerns.
