Sleep Lab
Snoring may be a sign of more serious problems. About 25% of people who snore loudly also stop breathing periodically while they sleep. This disrupts their sleep and they are frequently tired all the time. The good news is that there is very effective treatment for this disorder. A night in the Sleep Lab at Longmont United Hospital can diagnose this disorder and treatment can be arranged.
| INFO |
For more information and to make an appointment, see your doctor or call the Cardiopulmonary Department 303.651.5126. |
