How We Can Help
Our experienced private consultants are here to help you identify and address the underlying cause of your sleep problems. Here's a look at some common sleep conditions we can diagnose and support:
Snoring is a vibration in the airway caused by blocked or narrowed passages during sleep. While not always a cause for concern, it can be a sign of sleep apnea. Our GPs can assess your snoring and determine if it's a simple annoyance or a sign of a more serious condition. They can recommend lifestyle changes or treatment options like CPAP therapy to improve sleep quality and that of your partner.
OSA is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blocked airway. It can lead to daytime fatigue, high blood pressure, and other health problems. Our GPs can diagnose OSA through a sleep study and develop a personalised treatment plan. This may include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, or surgery depending on the severity.
Nocturnal epilepsy is epilepsy that causes seizures primarily during sleep. These seizures can disrupt sleep and lead to daytime sleepiness. Our experts can diagnose the type of epilepsy and recommend appropriate medication or treatment plans to control seizures and improve sleep quality.
RLS is a neurological disorder causing an irresistible urge to move the legs, often worse at night and at rest. Our GPs can diagnose RLS and recommend treatment options like medications, iron supplements, or physical therapy to manage symptoms and improve sleep.
EDS is a general term for feeling excessively sleepy during the day, even after a full night's sleep. It can be a symptom of various sleep disorders or medical conditions. We will investigate the underlying cause of your EDS and recommend appropriate treatment based on the diagnosis.
Sleep Phase Delay Syndrome is a circadian rhythm disorder where people have difficulty falling asleep at a reasonable hour and wake up later in the morning. Our GPs can diagnose sleep phase delay syndrome and develop a treatment plan to regulate your sleep-wake cycle, often involving light therapy and sleep hygiene practices.
Primary insomnia is a chronic sleep disorder where people have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, even when there are no underlying medical conditions causing sleep problems. Our specialists can diagnose primary insomnia and recommend treatment options like cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and develop a personalised sleep hygiene plan.
Vivid dreams are very realistic and memorable dreams, while nightmares are disturbing dreams that can cause distress and sleep disruption. While not always a cause for concern, our GPs can explore the underlying causes of frequent vivid dreams or nightmares, such as stress, medication, or a sleep disorder, and recommend treatment plans if necessary.
