Any recommendations for a "sleep" doctor? My other half has a CPAP machine for sleep apnea and readings indicate the need to be seen.. We need to find a different doctor for several reasons. TIA

We need to follow this. I think we have sleep apnea as well.

@sheltielover : We use Dr TH Jayaram at North Houston Respiratory Consultants. He is located by Memorial Herman in Humble.
 
I think there's an office in Kingwood but he's not at the one. It's back behind the KW hospital.

So you make an appointment with this guy and he sends you to do a sleep study?

@Donnawisdom :
Yes, if you suspect this, I would get the person evaluated. It was a life changing diagnosis for us. We've learned most people have no idea the difference treatment can make...as well as how necessary treatment is.

My other half was sent home with a monitor and they were able to diagnose the initial sleep apnea through those readings.

Definitely! I get the best sleep! My throat feels like it is swelling shut when I lay down and the CPAP has really made a difference.

We both snore. Is that a sign of sleep disorder?
