What’s more, our pulmonologists work hand-in-hand with our patients’ primary care providers for seamless continuity of care.

Narcolepsy is usually described as excessive daytime sleepiness. It can begin at any age and is believed to be hereditary. Symptoms of narcolepsy include sleep attacks (falling asleep without warning), cataplexy (sudden loss of voluntary muscle control), and sleep paralysis (a brief inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking). Narcolepsy does not have a cure, but lifestyle modifications and medications can help patients manage their symptoms.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects more than 20 million Americans, making it the most common sleep disorder. It is caused by a functional obstruction of the upper airway, which results in pauses in breathing (apneas) and disruption of sleep (arousals). OSAS can be a life-threatening condition and treatment typically involves the use of a positive airway pressure machine that delivers air pressure through the nose using a mouthpiece that is placed over the nose and mouth.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition in which a person has a frantic need to move their legs. Typically, they feel an unpleasant sensation that causes this urge, which has been described as crawling, creeping, tingling, throbbing, or aching. RLS causes disruptions in a person’s sleep, making it difficult to fall or stay asleep. It can be managed with medication and lifestyle modifications.

Periodic limb movements in sleep are repetitive movements that occur every 20-40 seconds. Typically occurring in the lower limbs, the movements may be brief muscle twitches, jerking motions, or an upward flexing of the feet. PLM can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours and can disrupt one’s sleep—and their partner’s sleep—significantly. PLM is most commonly treated with medication.
