What is an allergy?
An allergy is an immune system reaction to substances that are typically harmless to most people, such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, insect stings, medications, or specific foods. Common allergic reactions include coughing, sneezing, wheezing, and developing hives. Individuals with allergies are often sensitive to multiple allergens.
Identifying and managing allergies
Simple yet accurate tests are available to quickly determine which allergies may affect individuals over 6 years old. Once an allergen is identified, we can provide educational resources and treatment plans to help individuals and families effectively manage their allergies.
What is a sleep disorder?
A sleep disorder disrupts regular sleep patterns, causing a significant impact on daily life. Common types include insomnia, which affects the ability to fall or stay asleep, and sleep apnea, characterised by abnormal breathing pauses. Other examples are narcolepsy, involving sudden sleep episodes, and restless legs syndrome, which triggers an irresistible urge to move the legs.
Managing sleep disorders
We use the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to identify sleep issues as a standard part of all health assessments at our hospital and in-town medical centres. Our sleep diagnostics include polysomnography and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatments.
We provide comfortable overnight accommodations equipped for monitoring individuals with sleep-related breathing disorders.
