Home Sleep Testing...

Patient Instructions

Testing process is time sensitive.

You must complete the testing and return the kit within 48 hours of receipt.

Dear patient,

Thank you for choosing Heywood for your Home Sleep Test and congratulations on taking charge of

your health and well-being. Your provider has ordered a Home Sleep Test (HST) for you to evaluate if

you have sleep apnea, which may cause you to stop breathing while you are asleep.

Symptoms of sleep apnea may include snoring, daytime sleepiness, depression, and poor

concentration. If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and

stroke. The good news is that there are many treatment options available for patients diagnosed with

sleep apnea.

Thank You,

Michael Hagopian, RPSGT

Manager, Sleep Center

What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea occurs when you stop breathing during the night.

There are three types of sleep apnea:

1) Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – upper airway collapse causing obstruction. This is the most

common form of sleep apnea.

2) Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) – neurological condition where the brain fails to transmit signals

to the breathing muscles.

3) Complex or Mixed Sleep Apnea – a combination of both OSA and CSA

What are symptoms associated with sleep apnea?

• Excessive daytime sleepiness

•Snoring

•

Choking or gasping during the night
