Sleep Wellness Center

Approximately 10 million Americans consult their physicians every year about sleep complaints.

This makes sleep related problems the third most common complaint to physicians.  Some of the most common symptoms of a sleep disorder include:

• Chronic fatigue
• Irritability
• Depression
• Snoring
• Poor concentration or judgment
• Restlessness
• Morning headaches
• Frequent urination at night

If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms, talk to a physician about a sleep study at Mangum Community Hospital's Sleep Wellness Center.

Our Sleep Wellnes Center can help.

The Mangum Community Hospital’s Sleep Wellness Center is a comprehensive program that brings state-of-the-art sleep medicine to our community.

Today most sleep disorders can be effectively treated, but the first step is an accurate diagnosis.  Our Sleep Wellness center offers diagnostic testing that can help your physician determine the nature of your sleep-related problem.

Perhaps you live with someone who snores, causing both of you to have restless nights.  While most snoring is harmless, loud and continuous snoring may be a warning sign for a serious and life-threatening illness called a sleep disorder.  Sleep disorders have been linked to an increased incidence of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and sudden death.

Some of the most common sleep disorders include:

• Sleep apnea
• Insomnia
• Snoring
• Sleep Walking
• Narcolepsy
• Teeth grinding
• Seizures
• Restless leg syndrome

At our Sleep Wellness Center, patients undergo a sleep study.

In this non-evasive procedure, a patient’s electroencephalographic (EEG) brain waves, pulmonary function, oxygen levels and vital signs are monitored and recorded during each sleep stage.  All patients are visually monitored as well.

By comparing the readings, physicians can detect sleep disorders and prescribe treatments.  Generally, results can be obtained in one overnight stay.  All sleep studies performed at the Sleep Wellness Center are interpreted by physician specialists with expertise in recognizing, diagnosing and prescribing treatment for sleep disorders.  Test results are sent directly to your physician for follow-up treatment.

Most insurance plans and Medicare provide coverage for sleep studies.  If you or someone you know may be suffering from a sleep disorder, contact the specialists at Mangum Community Hospital’s Sleep Wellness Center today.
