St. Mary’s Innovis Health in Detroit Lakes offers sleep studies, close to home.43 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders constantly leaving them feeling tired. There is hope. Sleep disorders can be treated. At St. Mary’s Innovis Health in Detroit Lakes, our medical professionals focus on helping identify and overcome sleep disorders.
In a given night, a person with sleep apnea may stop breathing 20 to 60 or more times per hour. In addition to these events, people may experience: snoring gasping or choking sensations, excessive daytime sleepiness, or early morning headaches. When breathing stops, the sleeper is awakened just enough to inhale and resume breathing, often without being aware of the sleep disruption. In fact, most people with sleep apnea may be unaware of the problem.
Early recognition and treatment of sleep apnea is important because it may be associated with irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.
Through clinical study, we help patients uncover their specific barriers to sleep. We also provide follow-up care to manage sleep disorders and help patients receive restful sleep and regain control of their lives.
A widely accepted treatment is nasal airway pressure therapy, which includes using a bedside device to deliver pressurized air through a small mask or nasal pillow system. The device is called a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure system – CPAP for short.
Regular use of CPAP therapy can dramatically improve the quality of rest, but it doesn’t always happen overnight. In fact, it will require some trial and error at first. We’ll be there each step of the way, guiding you through a phased approach to better sleep.
