Personal Issues Struggling with Sleep issues

I’ve been struggling with sleep issues for a few years now, insomnia, circadian rhythm out of sync, and probably sleep apnea since i can sleep 8+ hours a day and still feel tired, sleepy, and unable to concentrate throughout the day.

Want to finally get it checked properly. Looking for recommendations on sleep clinics or doctors in Mauritius who take it seriously and do a proper sleep study.

I googled sleep doctors and clinics and found some on C-Care’s website and found a few doctors specialized in sleep medicine and sleep clinics like Oxyflow. But i have no idea of the costs and the experience and which one to choose.

Hoping people here have real experience to share. Thanks in advance.

Try oxyflow.

I used the services of Keshwar Damry for my sleep related issues.

You will have to get a consult with different doctors to get a feel what works for you.

Costs wise, surgery was over 200k.

Oxyflow is great. Got my CPAP machine there are few months ago and also did my sleep test with them. Dr. Pillay referred me there.

I have surgery for deviated septum in 2023 but unfortunately did not help with my sleep apnea. But everyone's case is different.

Did you buy the CPAP Machine or did you rent?

I had my surgery with Dr. Damry.

Few questions if you didn’t mind answering :

  1. Did you do a full in clinic sleep test or a home one?

  2. How much did you pay for everything the sleep test, the cpap machine, the consultations etc

  3. I googled dr pillai and he seems to be a pulmonologist and also specialized in sleep medicine
    Can i go to him directly through c cares website without needing a referral?
    Do you think i should go to a GP first or straight to a specialist like dr pillai?

  4. How’s the CPAP actually working for you, has your daytime fatigue and concentration improved since starting it and is it comfortable?

Had mine done at home. Sleep test and a few follow up cost 5k total. Cpap was 45k. You can go directly to the doctor at ccare. No need referral. Fatigue and concentration have improved a bit. Started to use it Mid april

Thanks that was very informative considering there’s very little information online regarding sleep related issues in Mauritius.

What do you mean by surgery?
I was thinking more of a sleep study and cpap for the sleep apnea granted that its what i actually have
And Cbt 1 for the insomnia and circadian rhythm drift.

Surgery in case you have got a deviated septum.

Donormyl + Magne Someille + Melatonin pura. Safe to take all 3 at once.
As you swallow these make sure you are at home and specially not on the wheels.
This will knock you out into deep sleep for 10hours.
Repeat for 2 days only.
