Sleep apnea syndrome is a disease that causes symptoms such as snoring or apnea at night that are noticed by others, excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent waking at night, and a feeling of not having had a good night's sleep.If left untreated, it is known to cause serious illnesses such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia, stroke, and myocardial infarction.It is common in obese people and has also been pointed out to be related to metabolic syndrome.

For those undergoing an overnight medical checkup, a transcutaneous oxygen saturation monitor (pulse oximeter) will be worn at night to monitor hypoxemia and pulse rate, and screening for sleep apnea syndrome will be performed.

If sleep apnea is suspected, we can refer you to a respiratory medicine specialist for appropriate treatment.

Diagnosis fee included: 8,000 yen
