Ingabe kufanele sifunde ngodokotela ochwepheshe (Somnologist) osiza ngezinkinga zokulala?

Ingabe nawe unenkinga yokulala ebusuku? Noma uzizwa ukhathele ngendlela engavamile emini? Mhlawumbe unenkinga ethile ehlobene nokulala. Namuhla, sizokhuluma ngodokotela ochwepheshe ongakusiza esimweni esinjalo, "uSomnologist".

Ubani lochwepheshe wokulala (Somnologist)?

Kalula nje, "i-Somnologist" ingudokotela othole ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile kokuxilonga nokwelapha izifo ezihlobene nokulala, okungukuthi, izinkinga zokulala . Njengoba nje kukhona udokotela ohlukile wokunakekela inhliziyo, kukhona nodokotela ohlukile wokunakekela ubuchopho, kukhona nodokotela abangochwepheshe bokunakekela ukulala.

Cabanga ngakho, esikhathini esiningi, laba dokotela "be-Somnologists" baqala ngokuthola ulwazi komunye umkhakha wezokwelapha, isibonelo, "i-Neurology", "i-Psychiatry", "i-Otolaryngology noma i-ENT", noma "i-Internal Medicine", bese kuba yilapho kuphela lapho bethola khona ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile okwengeziwe ngokulala. Ngakho-ke, baqonda kahle izici ezahlukene ezithinta ukulala.

Yini ngempela eyenziwa uchwepheshe wezokulala?

Ake sithi unenkinga yokulala. Uma uya kudokotela wezifo zengqondo, uzokwenza izinto ezinjengalezi ukuze akusize:

• Uzokubuza imibuzo eminingi mayelana nezinkinga zakho zokulala: ukuthi ulala kanjani, ukuthi uvuka kangaki ebusuku, nokuthi ukhathele yini emini. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi "umlando onemininingwane."
• Ukuhlolwa ngokomzimba: Ngezinye izikhathi kwenziwa ukuhlolwa ngokomzimba ukuze kuhlolwe izimo zomzimba ezingase zibangele izinkinga zokulala.
• Uma kudingeka, ukuhlolwa kungacelwa: isibonelo, isifundo sokulala ubusuku bonke. Lokhu kubizwa nangokuthi ukuhlolwa kokuxilonga.
• Ihlaziya imibiko yokuhlolwa: Babheka izinto ezifana nolwazi lwakho lwedayari yokulala noma idatha ye-actigraph (idatha ethathwe kudivayisi encane egqokwa emzimbeni wakho) ukuze baqonde amaphethini akho okulala.
• Ithola izinkinga zokulala: Ngokwenza konke lokhu, uzothola ukuthi iyini ngempela inkinga yakho yokulala.
• Ukwelashwa kuyanqunywa: Ngemva kwalokho, kunconywa ukwelashwa okufanele, mhlawumbe izinguquko endleleni yakho yansuku zonke, imithi, noma ukusetshenziswa kwamadivayisi akhethekile.

Ingabe laba odokotela basebenza bodwa?

Cha, akunjalo. Ngokuvamile, laba ochwepheshe bokulala basebenza nabanye odokotela ukuthola izixazululo zezinkinga zakho zokulala. Okusho ukuthi, njengethimba elihlanganisa imikhakha eminingi . Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• Udokotela womndeni wakho (udokotela wokunakekelwa okuyinhloko)
• Ochwepheshe bezindlebe, impumulo kanye nomphimbo (odokotela be-ENT)
• Abeluleki bezempilo yengqondo noma odokotela `(Abahlinzeki bezempilo yengqondo)`
• Odokotela bezinzwa
• Odokotela bezingane (uma ingane yakho inenkinga yokulala)

Kungase kube nezinye ezinjalo. Ngenxa yokuthi ezinye izinkinga zokulala zingabangelwa ezinye izifo, udinga ukubheka zonke izici zalokho.

Hlobo luni lwezinkinga zokulala olusiza isazi seSomnologist?

Nazi ezinye izimo ezivamile uchwepheshe wokulala angasiza ngazo:

• Ukukhathala ngokweqile emini: Ukuzizwa ukhathele njalo, ulele, futhi ugijima.
• Ubunzima bokulala nokuhlala ulele: Ukungakwazi ukulala ngemva kokulala ebusuku (okubizwa nangokuthi "Ukungalali"), ukuvuka phakathi nesikhathi.
• Ukulala kakhulu emini: Ngezinye izikhathi, uzizwa ulele kakhulu kangangokuthi awukwazi ukuhlala ulele. Lesi kungaba yisimo esibizwa ngokuthi i-Narcolepsy.
• Ukuhona kanye nokuphefumula okunzima: Lena inkinga abantu abaningi abanayo. Kuhilela ukuyeka ukuphefumula isikhathi esifushane ngesikhathi sokulala ebusuku.
• I-restless leg syndrome: Ukungakhululeki okungavamile, ukuba ndikindiki, noma ukuzwa ukuthamba emilenzeni lapho uzama ukulala ebusuku. Isifiso sokunyakaza imilenze.

Uma unalezi zimpawu, kungcono ukukhuluma nodokotela ngakho.

Bangobani laba `(uSochwepheshe Wokulala)` kanye `(uSochwepheshe Wokulala)`? Uyini umehluko phakathi kwalaba ababili?

Kuhle ukucacisa nalokhu, ngoba ngezinye izikhathi lokhu kokubili kungadideka.

• "Uchwepheshe Wokulala" ngumuntu owenza izivivinyo zokulala, njenge-"sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep test" (ebizwa nangokuthi "polysomnography") noma i-"multiple sleep latency test" (MSLT). Nguye ohlela umshini futhi aqoqe idatha ngenkathi ulele. Banokuqeqeshwa okukhethekile ngalokho.

• Kodwa-ke, `(uchwepheshe wokulala)` noma `(uSomnologist)` ungudokotela oyala ukuhlolwa, bese ethatha idatha eqoqwe `(uchwepheshe wokulala)`, ayihlaziye, bese enza ukuxilongwa . Uyaqonda? Ubuhlobo phakathi kwalaba ababili bufana nodokotela othatha `i-X-ray` nodokotela othola isifo ngokubheka leyo `X-ray`.

Ungaba kanjani "iSomnologist"?

Lolu uhambo olude noluzinikele. Ukuze ube yisazi se-somnologist, uchwepheshe wezokulala, kufanele uqedele imfundo eminingana, ukuqeqeshwa, kanye nezitifiketi.

Kalula nje, udinga ukulandela lezi zinyathelo:

• Okokuqala, iziqu ze-bachelor's (cishe iminyaka emine).
• Ngemuva kwalokho udinga ukuya esikoleni sezokwelapha bese uqedela iziqu zakho zezokwelapha (cishe iminyaka emine).
• Ngemuva kwalokho udinga ukuqeqeshwa kokuhlala (cishe iminyaka emithathu).
• Ngemva kwalokho, udinga ukuqedela ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile kwezokwelapha ubuthongo (cishe unyaka).
• Ekugcineni, udinga ukuthola isitifiketi esikhethekile esikhungweni esiqashelwayo emkhakheni wezokwelapha ubuthongo.

Lokho kusho ukuthi konke lokhu kuthatha okungenani iminyaka eyi-12 . Ngakho ungaqonda ukuthi kungakanani ulwazi nolwazi oludingekayo ukuze usebenzise umuthi wokulala.

Kufanele ngimbone nini uchwepheshe wezokulala?

Uma unezimpawu ezenza kube nzima ngawe ukulala, ukuhlala ulele, noma ukuvuka ekuseni noma ukuhlala uphapheme emini, ungase ufune ukubona udokotela wezifo zamehlo. Lezi zimpawu zingaphazamisa umsebenzi wakho, isikole , kanye nekhwalithi yokuphila.

Esikhathini esiningi, uma uqala ukubona udokotela womndeni wakho (GP) futhi umtshela ngezinkinga zakho zokulala, uzokudlulisela ku-"Somnologist" uma ebona ukuthi kuyadingeka.

Uma unezimpawu ezithinta inani kanye nekhwalithi yokulala kwakho, udokotela angakuthumela kudokotela wezifo zamehlo. Uchwepheshe wezokulala angathola imbangela eyisisekelo yezimpawu zakho futhi anikeze izinketho zokwelapha ukuze akusize uthole ukuphumula okudingayo.

Eqinisweni, ukuthola isilinganiso esifanele sokulala kungaba yinselele uma sifuna ukusebenza kahle ngesikhathi siphapheme. Uma unenkinga yokulala, ukuhlala ulele, noma ukuvuka uzizwa ukhathele, kubalulekile ukukhuluma nodokotela. Udokotela wakho womndeni angakudlulisela kuchwepheshe wokulala (somnologist). Lowo chwepheshe angakusiza ukuthola ukuthi yini ephazamisa ukulala kwakho futhi akusize uzizwe ungcono.

Izinto okufanele uzikhumbule kulesi sihloko (Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya)

Kulungile, ngakho-ke, lezi yizinto eziyinhloko okudingeka uzikhumbule kulokho esikhulume ngakho namuhla:

• "(Isazi seSomnologist)" udokotela ogxile ekuxilongeni nasekwelapheni izinkinga ezihlobene nokulala (izinkinga zokulala).
• Uma uhlala unenkinga yokulala, unesizungu esikhulu emini, noma unezinkinga ezifana nokuhogela kanye ne-sleep apnea, kubaluleke kakhulu ukukhuluma nodokotela ngakho.
• Ngokuvamile, udokotela wakho womndeni (GP) uzokudlulisela kulolu hlobo lochwepheshe.
• Ukulala kubalulekile empilweni yethu yomzimba neyengqondo. Ngakho-ke, izinkinga zokulala akufanele zithathwe kalula. Uma ziqhubeka, zingaholela kwezinye izinkinga zempilo.
• Ngokuhlonzwa nokwelashwa okufanele , izinkinga zokulala zingalawulwa futhi zelapheke kakhulu. Ngakho-ke ungesabi ukufuna iseluleko sezokwelapha.

'Ukulala, izinkinga zokulala, isazi se-somnologist, uchwepheshe wokulala, i-sleep apnea, ukuhona, ukozela
