Helping You Get Better Rest
Millions of Americans suffer chronically with various sleep disorders, and they are often undiagnosed or even ignored. If you regularly wake up with a headache, experience excessive daytime sleepiness, wake up choking, breathless or gasping during the night, experience chronic periods of disturbed sleep or snore loudly or stop breathing during sleep, it may be time to visit a FirstHealth Sleep Center.
Talk to your doctor about your concerns and ask if you might be a candidate for a sleep study.
At FirstHealth, our sleep experts can assess your symptoms, help determine their cause and recommend treatment and mitigation strategies that can help you get better rest. FirstHealth Sleep Disorders Centers are located at Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, Montgomery Memorial Hospital in Troy and FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital - Richmond in Rockingham or at one of our Sandhills Neurologists locations in Cary, Pinehurst or Sanford.
Most sleep disorders can be successfully treated or controlled once properly diagnosed. Diagnosing sleep disorders is not simple, because there can be many different reasons for disturbed sleep. Several tests are available for evaluating a person for sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Your doctor will order an overnight polysomnography to determine whether or not you have a sleep disorder.
Polysomnography is a test that records a variety of body functions during sleep, such as the electrical activity of the brain, eye movement, muscle activity, heart rate, respiratory effort, airflow and blood oxygen levels. These recordings are used to diagnose sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, and to determine the severity of the disorder.
