Sleep Apnea Testing at Be More Sleep Center, Baltimore, MD
Sleep apnea testing is crucial in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders effectively. At Be More Sleep Center, we are committed to making this process as convenient and comfortable as possible for our patients.
An at-home sleep testing solution allows you to undergo the necessary evaluations in the comfort of your own bed, ensuring an accurate diagnosis without the need for an overnight stay at a sleep lab.
This approach not only simplifies the testing process but also helps us tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs.
How the Home Sleep Test Works
A home sleep test (HST) is a convenient and non-invasive method for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea. This test monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate while you sleep in your own home, providing a clear picture of your sleep patterns without the discomfort of spending the night in a sleep lab.
HST is particularly effective in identifying moderate to severe cases of sleep apnea, making it an essential tool in creating a personalized treatment plan.
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
Step 1
The First Consultation
The treatment process begins with scheduling an initial consultation, where Dr. Jessica Wears and her team will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle choices. This conversation helps determine whether an HST is the right diagnostic tool for you.
Step 2
Equipment Pick-Up
Once an HST is deemed appropriate, you’ll receive the testing device, along with clear instructions on how to set it up and use it at home. The device is easy to operate and designed to be worn comfortably throughout the night.
Step 3
Conducting the Test
On the night of the test, wear the HST device as instructed while sleeping. The device will track your breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate, capturing the necessary data without interrupting your rest.
Step 4
Results and Diagnosis
A sleep physician analyzes the data collected from your HST to confirm the presence and severity of sleep apnea. If the results indicate a need for further investigation, more complex cases may be referred to a trusted board-certified sleep professional for additional testing and evaluation, ensuring you receive the most comprehensive care possible.
