About Us

Carolinas Sleep Specialists (CSS) provides a gold standard of care in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute estimates that more than 18 million Americans have sleep apnea. There are other conditions beside sleep apnea that can be diagnosed by a sleep study and/or consult with a sleep medicine specialist. Two of these are Periodic Limb Movements in Sleep (PLMS) and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Good sleep can promote more effective school and work performance and improve quality of life and personal interactions. It can lift our mood, boost our concentration, reduce daytime sleepiness and fatigue and even help improve medical conditions such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, headache and other muscle aches and heart rhythm problems. Why let these conditions drag you down, it's time to take control of your sleep.

Sleep-related difficulties affect many people. If you, or someone you know is experiencing any of the following, it is important to receive an evaluation by sleep medicine specialist.

Sleep Apnea

Snoring may be more than just an annoying habit – it may be a sign of sleep apnea. Persons with sleep apnea characteristically make periodic gasping or “snorting” noises, during which their sleep is momentarily interrupted. Those with sleep apnea may also experience excessive daytime sleepiness, as their sleep is commonly interrupted and may not feel restorative. Treatment of sleep apnea is dependent on its cause. If other medical problems are present, such as congestive heart failure or nasal obstruction, sleep apnea may resolve with treatment of these conditions. Gentle air pressure administered during sleep (typically in the form of a nasal continuous positive airway pressure device) may also be effective in the treatment of sleep apnea. As interruption of regular breathing or obstruction of the airway during sleep can pose serious health complications, symptoms of sleep apnea should be taken seriously. Treatment should be sought from a health care provider.
