Does Dr. Glazer order a sleep test for everyone?
He just ask me to open my mouth had a look inside.. he also does ecg and blood pressure before u see him. I did ask my family dr for referral for sleep test my family dr told me I didnt need one she didn't think I had sleep apnea told me to wait and see what Dr Glazer says.. I wouldn't hurt to talk to ur family dr if ur there anytime soon
Referral received at hrrh Nov6/14, orientation March23/15, surgery April 11/16
The throat/mouth exam is just a visual to see if you can be intubated properly and to check your teeth to see if you have crowns etc.
He goes through a physical history and medication profile.
I was not sent for a sleep study nor did I have a history of sleep apnea. If there is any question that you may suffer from sleep apnea then I would ask your GP to send you now so it won't delay the process
Best of luck!
