The Hayborough Pharmacy assists with the hire, purchase and use of sleep apnoea machines. Visit the pharmacy or phone 8552 8886. We can also arrange for a sleep study to be undertaken in your own home to assist with diagnosis.
Sleep apnoea, or CPAP machines, delivery a steady pressure of air to a patient via a mask while they sleep. They help patients achieve a better level of sleep and avoid the effects of chronic fatigue. We have several masks available in the pharmacy for customers to examine and our specialist staff will help you learn how to use the equipment.
Symptoms of sleep apnoea include snoring, daytime fatigue, choking or snorting in your sleep (although you may not be aware of this happening), morning headache, intellectual and memory deterioration, passing urine at night, restless sleep and breathlessness. More information about sleep apnoea and sleep studies is available here.
Your GP will need to complete a referral letter for a home-based sleep study. They are available to download here.
