Consultation of sleep disorders and chest diseases in subat clinics

Subat Clinics in Riyadh offer specialized consultations on sleep disorders and chest diseases in person at the clinic or online from any city in the Kingdom. Each case begins with an evaluation that determines its cause before prescribing any treatment, from which it is decided whether you need a sleep test and which type is suitable for you.

Which consultation suits your condition?

Choosing the right appointment from the beginning saves you a whole step, and these are the closest cases to each consultation:

*. Sleep disturbances — loud snoring, shortness of breath noticed by your sleep partner, tired waking up despite enough hours, morning headaches, persistent insomnia, or drowsiness that overwhelms you in meetings or behind the wheel.

*. Chest diseases — shortness of breath, chronic cough, wheezing, or symptoms of asthma and chest allergies.

*. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia — chronic insomnia without an organic cause or a desire to reduce dependence on sleeping pills with a non-drug course.

*. Online consultation — accommodation outside Riyadh or a previous examination result that needs to be read, or follow up on an existing treatment plan.

If you are unsure, call the clinic, briefly explain your symptoms, and have the staff direct you to the most appropriate appointment.

What happens inside a sleep disorders consultation?

First appointment: dialogue and evaluation, not complicated examinations. The consultant will ask about your actual sleep-wake times, sleep quality, and symptoms you or those around you notice. They will review your current medications and medical history along with an upper airway examination. You may use validated questionnaires to help estimate the severity of your symptoms.

At the end of the appointment, it is determined whether your condition requires a home sleep test,\or an advanced EEG test, or a direct treatment course without an examination, and when the examination is performed, the consultant reads the recording himself and explains to you its practical meaning, as the result is a treatment decision, not a page of numbers.

Chest Diseases Consultation

Respiratory complaints may be independent and may interfere with sleep. Differentiating between them is part of the assessment. The consultation covers asthma, chest allergies, shortness of breath, and chronic cough. It also includes a review of prescribed medications and the method of nebulizer use. Many unresponsive cases are caused by incorrect use and no stronger medication is needed.

Cognitive behavioral therapy sessions for insomnia

A non-drug treatment course for chronic insomnia, based on modifying habits and thoughts associated with sleep instead of relieving it with pills, suitable for those whose insomnia has stabilized without a clear organic cause and those who want to gradually reduce their dependence on hypnotics under the supervision of a specialist, and the number of sessions is determined according to the response of each case.

Online sleep consultation from any city

Not every assessment requires attendance. An online consultation is a contact appointment with the consultant himself. It is appropriate to review the symptoms before the examination decision, read the results of an examination conducted in another entity, follow up on adherence to the positive air pressure device, or modify an existing plan.
