Franklin Medical Center is pleased to announce the opening of its new sleep study lab. Our community now has access to state-of-the-art sleep monitoring in a comfortable atmosphere designed to reflect the comforts of home. Any patient answering yes to at least three of the following questions should consider asking their physician for a sleep study review:
- I have been told I snore
- I have been told that I stop breathing or hold my breath when I sleep, although I have no memory of this
- I am always sleepy during the day even when I have slept throughout the night. (“Wish I had more energy”)
- I have high blood pressure
- I have been told that I sleep restlessly. I am always “tossing and turning.”
- I tend to sweat excessively during the night
- I frequently awaken with headaches in the morning
- I tend to fall asleep during inappropriate times
- Others have noticed a change in my personality (often grumpy/irritable)
- I am overweight or have recently gained weight
- I suddenly wake up gasping for breath at times
Franklin Medical Center would like to thank Ivan Smith Furniture and Wal-Mart of Winnsboro for their generous assistance in helping to furnish our sleep lab. If you feel like you may have a sleep disorder, please take this brief self-scoring questionnaire by following the link below.
