Home Health : Sleep Apnea
Living with sleep apnea can be hard. Living with someone who has sleep apnea can sometimes be even harder because one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea can be loud and chronic snoring. According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 12 million Americans have sleep apnea. It’s important to know if you have sleep apnea. If you do, and it goes untreated, you are at an increased risk for various diseases such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, obesity and diabetes. If you think you may have sleep apnea, St. John’s can help. Our Sleep Disorder Clinic is available for patients to have sleep studies performed. The studies determine various sleep disorders including sleep apnea, and our specially trained physicians can determine a treatment plan that’s right for you.
