Diagnosis of Sleep Disorders

Dr. Sonia Dalal performs a detailed evaluation to identify the cause of your sleep problems.

Your assessment may include:

Medical history and sleep assessment

Physical examination

Evaluation of snoring and breathing symptoms

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), if associated respiratory disease is suspected

What Are Sleep Disorders?

Sleep disorders are conditions that affect the quality, duration, or pattern of sleep. While there are many types of sleep disorders, breathing-related conditions such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea are among the most common and often remain undiagnosed.

Poor sleep can affect your heart health, lung function, mental well-being, and daily productivity. Early diagnosis helps prevent long-term complications.

Treatment for Sleep Disorders

Treatment is individualized based on the diagnosis and severity of the condition.

Lifestyle Modifications

Weight management, sleep position changes, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol or sedatives before bedtime can improve sleep quality.

PAP Therapy

Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) is one of the most effective treatments for moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It helps keep the airway open during sleep and improves breathing.

Medical Management

Some patients may benefit from medications or treatment of associated conditions such as allergies or nasal obstruction.

Management of Underlying Lung Conditions

Patients with asthma, COPD, or other respiratory diseases may require optimized treatment to improve nighttime breathing.

Long-Term Follow-Up

Regular follow-up helps monitor treatment effectiveness, improve compliance, and ensure better long-term outcomes.

When Should You Consult a Sleep Specialist?

Book a consultation if you:

Snore loudly on most nights
Wake up gasping for air
Feel excessively sleepy during the day
Experience poor-quality sleep
Have uncontrolled high blood pressure with loud snoring
Feel tired despite sleeping for several hours
Have been told that you stop breathing during sleep

Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other health complications.
