Many people with sleep apnoea feel tired or less productive during the day. Left untreated, it can also put long-term strain on the heart and blood vessels.
At the Cardiology Centre Munich-Pasing, we offer modern sleep apnoea screening – both for individual risk assessment and as an integral part of cardiovascular prevention.
We are here for you

What is sleep apnoea and what health consequences can it have?
In sleep apnoea, breathing repeatedly stops or becomes very shallow during sleep – usually without the person noticing. Common signs are loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating or morning headaches. Left untreated, sleep apnoea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, arrhythmias and heart attack.
I snore heavily – should I be tested for sleep apnoea?
Loud snoring can indicate pauses in breathing at night (sleep apnoea), but it is not necessarily a sign of illness. If you also experience daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, morning headaches or restless sleep, we recommend an assessment. A simple screening test shows whether further investigation is needed.
Can sleep apnoea be the cause of high blood pressure or my atrial fibrillation?
Yes. Many patients are unaware that untreated sleep apnoea is often linked to high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and other heart conditions. If blood pressure is hard to control despite medication, or arrhythmias occur, screening can provide valuable insight.
Can I have sleep apnoea even if I feel fit during the day and have no symptoms?
Yes. Not everyone with sleep apnoea feels very sleepy during the day. Particularly in people with high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, excess weight or other heart conditions, it can go unnoticed for years. A simple screening helps to identify hidden risk factors early and treat them if necessary.
What happens if the screening is abnormal?
If the screening points to sleep apnoea, we discuss the results with you in detail and arrange further tests or treatment if needed – for example, a sleep laboratory study.
