Narcolepsy

For those battling the challenges of narcolepsy, everyday life can feel like an uphill battle. BreatheSleepMD Clinic is dedicated to providing expert guidance and comprehensive solutions to help you regain control over your narcolepsy symptoms and live a more fulfilling life.

Understanding Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and a tendency to suddenly and uncontrollably fall asleep during the day. These "sleep attacks" can happen at any time, even during activities like driving or working, and can significantly impact your daily life.

Accurate Diagnosis for Personalized Treatment

At BreatheSleepMD Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and management of narcolepsy. Our experienced specialists employ advanced diagnostic tools and assessments to accurately identify the condition and its severity. This includes sleep studies and other assessments to rule out other sleep disorders that may mimic narcolepsy.

Effective Management Strategies for Narcolepsy

Once diagnosed, our team collaborates closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Narcolepsy management may include:

Medications: Prescription medications are available to help manage narcolepsy symptoms, such as excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy (sudden muscle weakness triggered by emotions).
Lifestyle Modifications: Our experts provide guidance on improving sleep hygiene, establishing regular sleep schedules, and managing daily routines to optimize wakefulness.
Counseling and Support: We offer psychological support and counseling to help you cope with the emotional challenges that often accompany narcolepsy.
Education and Empowerment: Understanding your condition is key to managing it effectively. We provide education and resources to empower you to make informed decisions about your treatment and lifestyle.

BreatheSleepMD Clinic is committed to enhancing your quality of life by helping you manage narcolepsy effectively. If you're ready to take the first step toward better control over your symptoms, contact us today to schedule a consultation with our expert team. Your sleep health and well-being are our top priorities, and we're here to guide you toward a brighter and more wakeful future.

An exceptional example of what a clinic should be! The Dr was on time, took time to go over everything and explained what course of action was necessary. Let me ask all the questions I needed and did not hurry me.

The front office staff was friendly and very efficient and made you feel comfortable.

I know I chose the right place to go to!

I had a great experience at Dr. Chugs office. Dr. Chug is very professional, and has great bedside manners. He explains everything very thoroughly. His staff is also very professional and very nice. I felt very comfortable, they aim to help their patients. Thank you Dr. Chug and his staff.

Dr. Chug cares a great deal for his patients.
I have come a long way. I did not need more inhalers or medication. He recommended I go to a center that would teach me how to exercise, sit, bend over and breathe properly. I can now walk over 2 miles daily, clean my home, and run errands Yes, I still have COPD, emphysema, and lung cancer but I am more confident in my abilities. My name is Sally Stuebben and I have been a patient for almost 2 years.

Dr. Chug was one of the attending physicians for my 91 yr old father when he was in the hospital with blood clots on his lungs. His care and bedside manner was wonderful bringing my Dad home. He is now my Dad's pulmonologist for any follow-up care he may require moving forward.
