Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Sleep Medicine care with Dr. Amada M:

What is a Sleep Medicine specialist?

Dr. Amada M. is a board-certified sleep medicine specialist who has undergone additional training to diagnose and treat sleep disorders. Often coming from backgrounds in pulmonology, neurology, or otolaryngology, she brings a unique perspective to finding the root cause of your sleep problems.

What is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and why is it a health risk?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blocked airway. Untreated OSA is a significant risk factor for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Treatment is crucial in preventing these serious long-term complications.

What happens during a sleep study (polysomnogram)?

During a sleep study, or polysomnogram, we monitor your brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and body movements overnight. This non-invasive test provides a complete picture of your sleep patterns, serving as the gold standard for diagnosing sleep disorders and creating an effective prevention plan.

What is the connection between depression/anxiety and sleep?

Depression and anxiety can significantly impact sleep, and conversely, poor sleep can worsen symptoms of these conditions. Our practice emphasizes comprehensive care, treating both the sleep disorder and the mood disorder simultaneously to break this negative cycle and improve overall well-being.

How does an Otolaryngologist (ENT) help with sleep problems?

An ENT, or otolaryngologist, is a surgeon specializing in the ear, nose, and throat. They can identify and surgically correct physical blockages, such as a deviated septum or enlarged tonsils, that can cause snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, sometimes providing a permanent solution.

What is CPAP therapy and how does it work?

CPAP therapy, a common and effective treatment for sleep apnea, uses a machine to deliver gentle, constant air pressure through a mask. This pressure keeps your airway open during sleep, preventing breathing pauses and restoring healthy sleep, protecting your heart in the process.

What is the difference between a home sleep apnea test and an in-lab study?

A home sleep apnea test is a simpler screening tool for straightforward obstructive sleep apnea. An in-lab study is a more comprehensive test used for complex cases or to diagnose other sleep disorders like narcolepsy or parasomnias.

What is a circadian rhythm disorder?

Circadian rhythm disorders are problems with the body's internal 24-hour clock, leading to a misalignment between this internal clock and the external environment, such as delayed sleep phase. A sleep specialist can help reset this clock using strategies like light therapy and timed melatonin.
