Why Sleep Apnea Evaluation Matters

Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed, but it can cause fatigue, mood changes, high blood pressure, and even increase the risk of heart disease. A sleep apnea evaluation in Omaha helps identify whether disrupted breathing during sleep is affecting your health, so you can get the treatment needed to rest well and stay healthy.

  • Screening for symptoms like snoring, fatigue, and pauses in breathing

  • Coordinated referrals for overnight sleep studies

  • Family-focused care for adults and seniors

  • Independent practice that puts your health first

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep, often due to airway blockage or brain signaling issues. Symptoms include loud snoring, morning headaches, and daytime fatigue. Our Omaha providers screen for sleep apnea and guide families toward diagnosis and treatment.

Understanding Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea

Without treatment, sleep apnea can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It also affects memory, mood, and overall quality of life. That’s why timely evaluation is so important.
