Restful sleep begins with the right diagnosis. At Atlantic ENT, our specialists provide advanced sleep apnea testing designed to identify breathing disruptions and guide effective treatment for safer, healthier rest.
Sleep apnea occurs when airflow is interrupted during sleep, often due to airway collapse or blockage. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), results from the soft tissues of the throat relaxing too much and closing off the airway. Each pause in breathing can last several seconds, lowering oxygen levels and triggering brief awakenings that prevent deep, restorative sleep.
Over time, untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Identifying and treating it early can dramatically improve both health and quality of life.
At Atlantic ENT, we offer multiple testing options to accurately diagnose sleep disorders and ensure your comfort during the process.
For many patients, testing can be done in the comfort of their own home. The HSAT uses a small, portable device that records key information such as breathing effort, airflow, heart rate, and oxygen levels while you sleep. This test provides valuable insight into your breathing patterns without the need to spend the night in a lab.
In some cases, an overnight sleep study—known as polysomnography—may be recommended. Conducted in a sleep lab, this test provides a detailed look at your sleep stages and physical responses. Sensors track brain activity, heart rhythm, oxygen saturation, breathing effort, and body movement to detect any interruptions in normal sleep cycles.
This simple, non-invasive test measures your blood oxygen levels throughout the night. Oximetry may be used as a screening tool or combined with other tests to confirm the presence of sleep apnea and assess its severity.
Testing for sleep apnea is not just about identifying a condition—it’s about improving your overall health. By understanding how your body breathes during sleep, we can help prevent complications like chronic fatigue, hypertension, and cardiovascular strain. Early detection allows for targeted, effective treatment that restores healthy sleep patterns, reduces daytime drowsiness, and protects long-term wellness. Better sleep means better energy, mood, and focus—every day.
At Atlantic Ear, Nose & Throat, our board-certified ENT specialists combine advanced technology, compassionate care, and years of experience to provide accurate sleep apnea testing and personalized treatment.
