Why should you see a sleep neurologist? 🧠+😴

The brain is responsible for controlling the process of sleep, which means that there are various neurological factors that can affect this process. Many neurological problems are intensified when the sleep cycle is broken.

Seeing a sleep medicine specialist that is a trained neurologist first allows the connection between the brain & the sleep cycle to be studied at a deeper level! 👨🏽‍⚕️🔎🧠💤

Our Neuro Testing Center has the capabilities to do in house sleep studies, as well as at home sleep testing. Let’s get you scheduled today!

Why do Neurologists advocate for heart health?? 🫀🧠

Poor heart health can lead to strokes in the brain! The brain is supplied by several blood vessels, all arising from the aorta, which pumps blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If your heart gets a blood clot, it’s likely to pass it to the brain! Blood clots cause strokes.

Take care of your heart! ❤️‍🩹 and subsequently, you’ll be taking care of your brain! 🧠

“Man, he’s snoring! Must be sleeping GOOD!”

False. Snoring can be light, occasional, and unconcerning, or it may be the sign of a serious underlying sleep-related breathing disorder. This can lead to poor quality of sleep, resulting in day-time fatigue/sleepiness, mood changes, poor concentration, headaches, etc.

Our specialist, Dr. Brian Ku, is a neurologist with fellowship training in sleep medicine. He is available to diagnose and treat sleep disorders in patients with stroke, Epilepsy, MS, cognitive disorders, Parkinson’s disease and much more.

Let us know if we can help get you a better quality of sleep!! 😴

Electroencephalography: An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells.

This test is usually ordered to rule out or distinguish what type of seizures you may be having. This test can be ordered for syncope (fainting spells), convulsions, altered mental status, staring spells, memory/cognitive complaints, Epilepsy work-ups, etc.

Our Neuro Testing Center schedules these in our clinic. 🧠 One of our epileptologist (fellowship-trained Epilepsy Specialists) will read your EEG and determine the next course of action!

Give us a call today if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or would like to refer over a patient to have a seizure consultation! ☎️

Thankful for our team of sHEROS! 💕

It’s the new year and if you are focused on GETTING HEALTHY, then getting better sleep should be at the top of your list!🗒

Think about this: You don’t get a good night’s sleep, causing you to wake up late and be in a rush! Now you’ve got to grab fast food or steal a breakroom donut to hold you over until lunch. 🍩 You also grab a cup of coffee (or 10) to wake yourself up periodically throughout the day, over caffeinating and, more than likely, consuming too much creamer and sugar. ☕️

Or how about snoring all night, which leads to daytime sleepiness. 💤 This causes a decrease in productivity at work, which then becomes unneeded stress. As we all know, stress causes many things like overeating, weight gain, depression, and anxiety to name a few.

Sleep is the foundation of your day. 😴A good, quality night of sleep sets the precedence for the day to come! 🎊
