This website is provided for consumers interested in learning about sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Do you snore? Is someone's snoring keeping you up at night? If so, you are not alone. 40 million Americans suffer from some form of sleep-disordered breathing. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing and affects an estimated 18 million people in the United States: 2% of middle-aged women and 4% of middle-aged men. The vast majority of patients are undiagnosed.

If left untreated, OSA can have serious and potentially life-threatening complications, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression, impaired cognitive performance and increased accident rates.

If you or someone you care about may have sleep apnea, talk to a doctor. Once properly diagnosed, OSA can be effectively treated. If you suspect you may have OSA, see your doctor. Your doctor may recommend a sleep study to measure certain patterns during sleep, such as breathing and heart rate.

Until recently, most sleep studies were performed overnight in a Sleep Laboratory. Now, there is a new way to diagnose OSA in the privacy and comfort of your own home with the NovaSom® QSG® from Sleep Solutions.

This site provides access to important information about risk factors, warning signs, implications, diagnosis and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
