LANE COVE CPAP SERVICE and SLEEP APNOEA SHOP

Opening Your Tired Eyes to Sleep Apnoea

Sleep disordered breathing affects about 30% of the adult population, making it as widespread as diabetes or asthma. Despite this, awareness of Sleep Apnoea is low and those specialising in the disorder such as Phil and Jan Wade at the Lane Cove Wellness Center, Pharmacy and
Naturopathy, believe 90% of suffers remain undiagnosed and untreated.

We stock the major brands and their repleacment equipment because collectively, they are committed to increasing the education and awareness of the serious health consequences of untreated sleep-disordered breathing among doctors and the general public alike in over 65 countries.

It’s time to promote the awareness and treatment of sleeping disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea. Ms Kirsty Wade, Sleep Apnoea CPAPconsultant , says that people with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea regularly stop breathing through the night. This can last for 10 seconds or more and can happen several hundred times a night. Every time your brain realises it isn’t getting enough oxygen, it alerts your body to almost wake up briefly and start breathing again. This means that your brain will not obtain full benefit from sleep.

You are not likely to remember this happening but will feel extremely tired the next day. The condition affects your quality of life and puts your body through a lot of stress every night. Symptoms of Sleep Apnoea include:

• falling asleep at the wheel of the car or at the lights,
• in front of the telly or in meetings,
• waking up tired,
• suffering morning headaches,
• being grumpy,
• feeling lethargic and having little mental or physical energy.

You don’t have to snore to have Sleep Apnoea! If you think you might suffer from this serious condition come to our Pharmacy, email us or phone on: (02) 9420 4959 and get all the information you need. Don’t hesitate, your health means the world to you and your family.

Home Testing for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea 

If you suspect that you may have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea then see your GP today and by all means obtain a referral to a specialist sleep physician. But did you know that only about 10% of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is currently being diagnosed at the local GP clinic level? That is why our clinic now features a "smart" system for testing you for OSA in the comfort of your own home. This is strictly a screening test that we are accredited to perform for you and only on referral from your GP. The results are interpreted by a specialist Sleep Physician. This method does not bypass the normal GP-specialist relationship but it does fast track you into CPAP if your case is urgent.

You may hire all the equipment that you have been prescribed so that you do not have to make a full financial commitment before your formal evaluation.

Somnomed mandibular splint

We stock this device also. Costing up to $200 for the top model, this device as an active mouthguard. It prevents snoring by holding your lower jaw in place. It can be set to your own cinfiguration and is helpful in many cases.
