You wouldn’t go too long without visiting a doctor or a dentist, because you know it’s good for your health. So when it comes to ensuring that your sleep apnea treatment is up to scratch, we suggest the same– a regular check-up with both your doctor and our sleep therapists.There are some things in life that need to run like clockwork - and the journey to improving your sleep health is no different.
While you might feel as though you’ve ticked a major ‘to-do’ item off your list having starting sleep treatment for a sleeping condition such as sleep apnea, you should view your treatment as part of your on-going journey to better sleep health.
It might sound like a big commitment, but trust us - it helps to put aside a small amount of time to have regular therapy check-ups.
Not only can we help you select the appropriate sleep treatment suitable to your individual need, but we’re here for you throughout the process too.
Did you know that we can provide you with a detailed look at your therapy data from your CPAP device to see if treatment is working for you
If you schedule a check-up with us, our team can download and review your therapy data and go through this with you so you can see exactly how it’s working. We can also inform your GP of any updates.
In case you needed more encouragement to follow up your CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, here are just some of the reasons as to why you need to schedule that appointment:
While your own sleep therapists might have a specific schedule for you to stick to when it comes to a follow-up routine, we generally recommend at least an annual check-up.
However, if for any reason you do notice a change with your treatment or equipment every night, please call us as soon as possible.
Now that you can see the reasons as to why you should keep in touch with our experts, it's time to book your follow-up appointment.
