Sleep Lab

North Georgia Medical Center offers a Sleep Lab.

Do you think you might have a sleep disorder?

Have you been told by a friend or family member that you snore?

Do you often feel tired or have a headache when you awaken in the morning?

Do you frequently awaken during the night?

Have you been told you have pauses in your breathing during sleep?

Do your legs jerk frequently or feel uncomfortable/restless before or during sleep?

Do you often find yourself falling asleep when you don't intend to, such as while viewing television or while driving?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of the above questions, you might benefit from a sleep consultation. Please keep in mind the above questions are only an indicator, not a diagnosis, which only a physician may give.

In a recent national family opinion poll it was revealed that 90 million american over the age of 18 snore - 37 million of them on a chronic basis.

Few seek treatment because they view snoring as a social nuisance.

However, the reality is that snoring is a medical symptom for something as simple as the common cold - to something as potentially life-threatening as sever sleep apnea. Left untreated, apnea usually leads to cardiovascular and neurological problems.

So, if you or someone you love is a chronic snorer, call our sleep service DO YOU SNORE at 404-892-0308 and ask for a referral to our sleep specialists.

Chances are, if you do you won't be the only one who sleeps better!
