Suspect you have a Sleep Disorder?

What to Do!

 

See our informative Power Point Presentation production here >>

A layman’s definition of Sleep Apnoea is ‘the cessation of breathing during sleep’.  When breathing stops the levels of oxygen in the blood begin to drop.  After a short time the lack of oxygen causes a reflex response.  This response forces open the airway with a loud snort, maybe gasping breaths and loud snoring.  There may also be kicking and flailing of the arms.

There are three different types of sleep apnoea:

  • obstructive

  • central

  • mixed

This fifteen-page presentation has been compiled in-house and gives concise help on "What to Do" if you think you suffer from Sleep Apnoea.  It is informative in a graphical way .
