SLEEP LABORATORY
The newest and first ever Sleep Lab in Misamis Oriental will officially open in a hospital near you (few weeks from now). if you have relatives that have symptoms of sleep disorders (e.g. snoring) this may be indicative of SLEEP APNEA which is potentially a life threatening condition. Yes, snoring is not just annoying, it can be a sign of a LIFE THREATENING condition. To determine the possible risks of such symptom, the best way is through sleep laboratory. Sleep apnea which is a breathing or airway obstruction is a typical health problem among middle aged and overweight individuals. If you want to inquire about the sleep lab, you may pm me. Take note that I am just an emissary of the doctor who partly owns the sleep lab.
I will update on this soon. I am waiting for the official opening which will probably be within this month. Please disseminate the info if you know anyone who has sleep disorders or those who are interested in the sleep lab. thanks.

This is just a sample pic of how a sleep lab looks like. you may call it a hotel room if you want. ;) not much difference except for the equipment at the left side. I will post the pictures of the official sleep lab as soon as it is authorized and available.
