Proven care for breathing problems and sleep disorders
Whether you or a member of your family needs care for a breathing problem or help with a sleep disorder, Dr. Osafo-Mensah provides many services to help you overcome your condition while improving your quality of life. At Pulmonary Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, he and his dedicated staff provide all the latest treatments of a broad range of pulmonary, breathing and sleep disorders in adolescents and adults.
If you snore or are excessively sleepy during the day, you may have a sleep disorder. A common sleep disorder is sleep apnea, when you stop breathing in your sleep as many as 30 times per hour. Sleep apnea has been linked to irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, heart attack, death resulting from motor vehicle accidents and even sudden death during sleep. We have vast experience diagnosing sleep disorders like sleep apnea. A partial list of the sleep disorders we treat includes:
- Sleep apnea (OSA)
- Narcolepsy and cataplexy
- Insomnia
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS)
- Obesity-related sleep problems
- Snoring
- Daytime sleepiness
- Drowsy driving
- Night-terrors
- Sleepwalking and eating
- Shift work-related sleep problems
We’ll arrange a sleep study to determine the nature of your sleep disorders. Your study will then be reviewed by Dr. Osafo-Mensah. Preliminary reports are promptly sent to your referring physician within 24 hours after your study’s review.
