Obstructive Sleep Apnea Welcome

Sleep Medicine Specialists say that if people want to improve their lives, they should first get a good night's sleep...EVERY NIGHT! However, since so many people have a variety of undiagnosed sleep disorders, they have developed their medical specialties to diagnose, manage, treat and cure patients of all ages who exhibit the highly dangerous effects of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD) (such as Snoring or Sleep Apnea) and related problems.

Snoring has a dual negative impact on individuals and their partners; both are likely to face a drop in sexual quality of life creating challenges to their intimate relationship as couples. It is a common problem among all ages and both genders, and it affects approximately 90 million American adults - 37 million on a regular basis. The National Sleep Foundation 'Sleep in America Poll' revealed that 37% of adults report they had snored at least a few nights a week during the previous year. In fact, 27% said that they snore every night or almost every night.

Dr.Broujerdi said, "Sleep is incredibly important to everyone's health and way of life. After a good night's sleep, we wake up feeling refreshed and alert. But if our sleep is disrupted or troubled, every other part of our lives can suffer. This is especially true of our love lives. If too much carbon dioxide accumulates in our system during sleep, our bodies will remain sluggish and often unresponsive to everyday stimulation. This is true for BOTH men and women! We suggest that the partners of patients with sleeping problems insist that those partners get examined and tested for these disorders. Once diagnosed and treated, everyone wins!"

Dr. Broujerdi explains the causes behind potentially life-threatening Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders, describes the testing and evaluation processes, and details what patients can expect from treatments.
