Centre for sleep medicine and allergology
Healthy sleep is essential for general performance and universal well-being. If you suffer from chronic tiredness, fatigue and poor performance despite sufficient sleep, a sleep-related disorder could be behind it.
The difficulty in clarifying the question about the presence of such a disease is obvious: You cannot observe yourself while asleep and therefore cannot provide our team with any information. If a comprehensive questionnaire on the subject of daytime fatigue shows indications of a sleep disorder, for example the presence of nocturnal breathing interruptions as part of sleep apnea syndrome, the experienced colleagues at our centre can offer you comprehensive diagnostics at the highest technical level. You don't have to spend the night in a sleep laboratory, but after a detailed instruction you can comfortably take the corresponding measuring technique home with you, the evaluation then takes place in the MEDIZINICUM.
Interdisciplinary cooperation is also of great importance in this field. If sleep apnea syndrome is diagnosed, night CPAP ventilation is not always required. Nutritional medical treatment for weight reduction is often the most important therapy. A sleep-related illness can also be the cause of high blood pressure, so that our cardiological colleagues are consulted. In some cases, however, allergic triggered rhinitis or allergic bronchial asthma also adversely affects sleep. At the Centre for Allergology we offer you a comprehensive allergy assessment.
We have numerous diagnostics available for the evaluation of an allergic event. For example, allergological skin testing. In our in-house allergy laboratory, we determine classic allergological parameters for your personal RAST allergy profile in order to detect interdisciplinary allergies such as pollen or food allergies.
