Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep.

These interruptions occur when the muscles surrounding the throat relax excessively, leading to partial or complete obstruction of the airway. As a result, oxygen levels in the body drop, prompting the brain to briefly awaken in order to restore normal breathing. This cycle can repeat numerous times throughout the night, severely disrupting sleep quality and leading to a range of health issues. From loud snoring and daytime fatigue to an increased risk of hypertension, heart disease, and stroke, untreated OSA can have serious consequences.

Recognizing the symptoms and seeking proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial steps in managing this condition and safeguarding overall health.

OSA can manifest in a lot of different ways, and some symptoms are easier to spot than others.

• Loud, chronic snoring

• Gasping for air

• Daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating

• Anxiety and mood changes

• Sexual dysfunction

• Morning headaches

• Waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat

Understanding these symptoms can be vital for identifying sleep apnea early. The sooner you get a diagnosis, the faster you can receive treatment, which will reduce the risk of health complications like heart disease and improve your overall quality of life. Don't wait! Take our free sleep screener now to find out more.

Ignoring obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to persistent daytime fatigue, frequent morning headaches, and difficulties with memory and concentration. Beyond these immediate symptoms, untreated OSA has been directly linked to an increased risk of accidents in various settings, including transportation and workplaces. Moreover, extensive research underscores the substantial health risks associated with untreated OSA, including:

• High blood pressure

• Congestive heart failure

• Atrial fibrillation

• Coronary artery disease

• Stroke

• Type 2 diabetes

Addressing OSA promptly through diagnosis and treatment is crucial for mitigating these risks and improving overall health and well-being.

If you're concerned about having a different sleep disorder, such as restless leg syndrome, it's advisable to schedule an appointment with a sleep lab for comprehensive evaluation. However, for diagnosing sleep apnea specifically, home sleep tests are highly accurate and convenient. You can perform these tests from the comfort of your own bed. For more detailed information on the accuracy of home sleep apnea tests compared to lab tests, please refer to "Are Home Sleep Apnea Tests As Good As Lab Tests?".

Our home sleep test is priced at $175 with zero hidden fees. Shipping and handling are always free. This fee includes:

• Analysis by a board-certified sleep medicine physician with over 25 years of experience in interpreting sleep studies.

• Live consultation with a licensed practitioner to discuss your results.

• Review of treatment options tailored to your lifestyle, situation, and budget.

• Guidance through the process to help you secure the best treatment option.

Please note that medical devices such as CPAP Machines and Oral Appliance Therapy are not included in the $175 price, should you decide to proceed with treatment.

For the testing and diagnosis phase, we currently accept cash payment for two main reasons:

• Streamlined Process: Insurance requirements can add unnecessary complexity to this phase of the process. By accepting cash payments, we aim to make testing and diagnosis as quick and straightforward as possible for our clients.

• Cost and Timing Considerations: While insurance coverage might seem appealing, the out-of-pocket expenses and waiting times associated with navigating insurance processes can often be comparable to paying directly. We prioritize providing efficient service and timely results to our clients.

For the treatment phase, we collaborate with fulfillment providers who accept most major private insurance plans. This allows us to offer flexibility and convenience in accessing treatment options.

Your Sleep Team at Complete Sleep is comprised of a board-certified sleep physician, clinical medical practitioners, and if necessary, a sleep dentist to address your individual needs.

Each member of your Sleep Team collaborates closely to ensure that your journey is seamless, efficient, and tailored to your specific requirements.

If the idea of using a CPAP machine isn't appealing to you, don't worry. There are alternative treatment options available. Our Sleep Team will collaborate with you to explore various alternatives, such as oral appliance therapy or lifestyle adjustments, to effectively manage your obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We understand the importance of finding a treatment that suits your preferences and lifestyle.
