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

What is a Sleep Medicine specialist?

A sleep medicine specialist, like Dr. MA, is a board-certified doctor who has received advanced training to diagnose and treat sleep disorders. They often have backgrounds in pulmonology, neurology, or otolaryngology, giving them a unique understanding of the underlying causes of 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 major risk factor for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Fortunately, treatment is a critical step in preventing these serious long-term complications.

What happens during a sleep study (polysomnogram)?

A sleep study, or polysomnogram, is a safe, non-invasive overnight test. It monitors your brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and body movements to understand your sleep patterns. This comprehensive evaluation is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep disorders and creating a personalized prevention plan.

What is a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)?

The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is a daytime test, often performed after an overnight sleep study, that measures how quickly you fall asleep during a series of scheduled naps. It's a key tool for diagnosing conditions like narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.

What is narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition where the brain struggles to regulate sleep-wake cycles, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness and sometimes cataplexy. While there's no cure, a sleep specialist can create a management plan including medication and lifestyle strategies to help prevent symptoms from significantly impacting daily life.

Can lifestyle changes like weight loss help sleep apnea?

Yes, significantly. Excess weight can narrow the airway, and for many patients, even a moderate amount of weight loss can dramatically reduce or even eliminate sleep apnea, empowering you to prevent the need for other therapies.

Are there alternatives to CPAP for treating sleep apnea?

Yes, there are alternatives to CPAP, including custom-made oral appliances to reposition the jaw, and surgical options to address anatomical blockages. These are important options to consider as part of a personalized treatment plan.

What is a circadian rhythm disorder?

Circadian rhythm disorders are problems with the body's internal 24-hour clock, often causing 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. We can work together to find the best approach for you.
