Client Background
A 46-year-old woman from Gilbert, Arizona, came to Enticare reporting persistent fatigue, irritability, and morning headaches despite getting 8 hours of sleep nightly.
Challenge
She had been previously misdiagnosed with depression and insomnia for years. Her symptoms were subtle—no loud snoring—and traditional screening missed signs of obstructive sleep apnea.
Approach
Enticare’s sleep specialists conducted a home sleep apnea test (HSAT) that confirmed moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The treatment plan included CPAP therapy, positional therapy, and follow-up sleep counseling.
Results
-
80% reduction in daytime fatigue within two weeks
-
Improved mood and mental clarity
-
Better overall sleep quality and energy
-
Patient-reported “life-changing” improvement after consistent CPAP use
Conclusion
This case highlights the importance of recognizing gender-specific sleep apnea symptoms and the value of comprehensive sleep testing available at Enticare’s clinics.
