Sleep problems
At The Coker Chest Clinic we provide a complete range of treatments to address all sleep conditions.
Sleep is essential for good health. Sleep problems can impact your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. When experienced long-term it can be a contributing factor for many health conditions. Fortunately, there is often an underlying cause that can be investigated, diagnosed, and treated safely and effectively.
We see patients with a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Excessive sleepiness during the daytime
- Headaches in the morning
- ‘’Foggy brain’’ in the morning
- Waking up with choking or gasping
- Night time palpitations (pounding heart)
- Not feeling refreshed after a nights sleep
- Feeling exhausted
- Unable to focus at work
- Poor concentration
- Memory problems
- Mood swings
- Depression
Patients often report that their partners have noticed them tossing and turning, snoring, groaning or stopping breathing during the night.
Our comprehensive approach ensures we are able to identify the underlying problem. You can rest assured that we provide the gold standard in investigative sleep tests. This includes home-based polysomnography testing using the very best portable equipment for our patients’ convenience.
Some of the more common sleep disorders we diagnose include sleep apnoea, circadian sleep disorders, insomnia and periodic limb movement disorder. We also treat patients requiring Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and can provide invasive and non-invasive home mechanical ventilation for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), scoliosis, and neuromuscular disorder.
