What happens after I receive my results?
A positive result
77% of the tests we carry our confirm Sleep Apnoea. In these cases, we make recommendations of suitable treatment options based on the data recorded, the medical history you provide and the assessment of the sleep professional that analyses your test. At Intus Healthcare can provide all of the clinically-proven treatment options, including CPAP therapy, positional therapy, mandibular advancement devices and more, and we will provide detailed information and advice on any treatment methods that are suitable for you.
You can also discuss the result with your GP, as you may wish to continue your path towards treating Sleep Apnoea through the NHS. With a test that confirms you have the condition, you are likely to find that a referral to an NHS sleep clinic is issued more quickly than if you were describing symptoms alone. Likely, the NHS clinic will still want to conduct their own test.
A negative result
For the 23% that do not get a positive confirmation, the test provides some clarity on your current situation and you can effectively “rule out” Sleep Apnoea. You can then begin looking at other potential causes, which is a positive step towards finding a solution.
We are here to support you
It can take a sufferer seven years from developing clear symptoms of Sleep Apnoea, to having it confirmed. You could be just days away from that point – and within 48 hours, you could be receiving treatment and tackling those symptoms. Treating Sleep Apnoea can increase your life expectancy by as much as 8 years, so the sooner treatment is started, the better it is for your long-term health, as well as the immediate benefits of reduced snoring and more refreshing sleep.
We pride ourselves on using the best equipment available and having all tests analysed by qualified, experienced and independent sleep specialists, to ensure honest and accurate results. Whatever your result, we will be on hand to provide support and guidance for your next step.
