Physiotherapy in Kolkata and awareness of sleep irregularities

Hi,

I had the great opportunity of meeting Dr. Hironmoy Sil, a well known and knowledgeable physiotherapist in Kolkata. Dr. Sil is a cardiopulmonary rehab therapist. He is working with obstructive sleep apnea for the last 12 years as a sleep technologist. Being in the role of a qualified physiotherapist for quite long, his treatment includes applied physiotherapy for all kinds of patients have physiotherapeutic problems. While interacting with him, I came to know that as a sleep technologist he is trying to spread the awareness in the common man the hazards related to sleep apnea and sleep irregularities.
There are so many instances where people who snore are learnt to have died a peaceful death in their sleep. Ironically people praise the good Samaritan who died peacefully with god’s wishes without having to bear the pain of death. Well, Dr Sil pleads ignorance on the common man’s part as they do not know that a person with obstructive sleep apnea can hold his breath for more than 75 seconds resulting in a so called ‘Peaceful death’. The fatality of such disease must be shared amongst people like us who are not even aware of this problem which can be treated through physiotherapy.
