Do I have a Sleep Disorder?

If you think that a sleep disorder may be affecting your quality of life or be keeping you from getting a good night’s sleep, complete our self-evaluation form below as accurately as possible to see if you may have a sleep disorder.

Check all that apply:

  • I’ve been told that I frequently stop breathing when I sleep.
  • I have been told that I snore, and it can be loud.
  • My friends and family say that I’m often grumpy or irritable.
  • I am overweight.
  • I awaken with a dry mouth.
  • I frequently have a morning headache.
  • My neck measures more than 15 ¾” around
  • I have high blood pressure and am on medication.
  • Others tell me that my snoring is interrupted by pauses, gasps, and snorts.
  • I sleep well at night, but feel sleepy during the day, especially when driving or at work.
  • I have sleep attacks even though I fight them.
  • I am male

If you answered yes to three (3) or more questions in this section, you may be at risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a potentially serious disorder that can lead to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or death if left untreated.

Ask your doctor if a sleep study or referral to a sleep specialist would be appropriate. You may also contact the Sleep Diagnostic & Treatment Center at 703-876-2850 and ask one of our trained professionals if a sleep study may be right for you.

Philips Recall Notice for CPAP & Bilevel PAP Machines

Philips has issued a recall notification for a large number of their CPAP and Bilevel PAP machines.

Based on testing, Philips has determined that the type of foam used in these devices may degrade into particles which may enter a person’s airway and be ingested or inhaled into the lungs.

In accordance with recommendations from Philips and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, we are advising patients to STOP using any affected Philips machine or device.

Please contact your CPAP equipment company and insurance company about receiving a replacement unit as soon as possible.

While waiting for your replacement unit, it is recommended that you sleep in an upright or semi-upright “recliner” position at night to reduce sleep apnea.
