Apnix Sleep Diagnostics Now Offering Enhanced Houston Sleep Apnea Testing and Treatments

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 23, 2013

Apnix Sleep Diagnostics has been providing Houston area residents with a number of treatment tests that can be used to diagnose a sleep disorder. Because there are dozens of different sleep disorders, proper diagnosis of the condition is the first step toward effectively treating the disorder, and Apnix Sleep Diagnostics is now offering enhanced Sleep Apnea tests to better identify sleep disorders and provide treatment to more sufferers.

Sleep Tests

Apnix Sleep Diagnostics has nine convenient locations across the Houston metropolitan area, and all of these locations are now updated to provide local residents with easy access to the most modern testing, diagnostic and treatment services available today. The facilities are state-of-the-art and comply with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s new requirements for 2013. They provide patients with a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere that is more similar to a beautiful hotel than a medical setting. This is the ideal environment for individuals to receive the diagnostic sleep tests that they need. Patients typically will remain in the facility for one or two evenings while a sleep study is being performed. While the individual sleeps, he or she will be monitored through various tests. These are non-invasive tests that include electroencephalography (EEG), electro-oculography (EOG), submental-electromyography (EMG) and electrocardiography (ECG). Through these and other tests, factors like the patient’s heart rate, eye and leg movements, brain waves, breathing patterns and other factors are monitored. Apnix Sleep Diagnostics is so confident in their new sleep apnea tests, that an accurate diagnosis of the patient’s sleep disorder is guaranteed. Typically, the results of the sleep study will take about a week to process, and the physician will review the results in person at a scheduled appointment.

Effective Treatment Options

Poor sleep at night has the ability to alter an individual’s physiological and mental health. In fact, it has been linked to serious conditions such as kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, depression and other health conditions. Through the results of a sleep study and diagnostic tests, an accurate diagnosis about a patient’s condition can be made. Sleep apnea is among the most common disorders that afflict adults today, and Apnix Sleep Diagnostics offers effective Sleep Apnea Treatment in Houston. CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure devices, are just one of several effective treatments that may be used to treat the condition. When a patient is diagnosed by Apnix Sleep Diagnostics after performing diagnostic tests in a sleep study, a treatment plan that is tailored to meet the needs of the patient is created.
