Nigel Mcardle is a pulmonologist based at 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. He works with people who have breathing and sleep-related problems, especially where breathing slows down or stops during sleep.
In many cases, patients come in because they feel very tired in the daytime, snore, or struggle with poor sleep. He also looks after issues linked with obstructive sleep apnoea, central sleep apnoea, and drowsiness or excessive daytime sleepiness. Some people are dealing with insomnia as well, and that can make everything harder to manage day to day.
Nigel also helps with conditions that can sit next to sleep breathing problems, like obesity and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). When the body doesn’t move enough air overnight, it can affect oxygen levels and leave people feeling drained. At times, he may be involved when there are worries around cerebral hypoxia, depending on the bigger medical picture.
For some patients, the work is also about the lungs in a broader sense. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the conditions he sees, along with breathing troubles that can overlap with sleep. He understands that symptoms don’t always stay neatly in one box.
He also treats restless legs syndrome, which can keep sleep light and broken. Other related problems he may be asked about include cramp-fasciculation syndrome and issues around drowsiness. Hypertension is often mentioned in the same breath as sleep problems, so it may come up during care planning too.
As a pulmonologist, his training is aimed at breathing health and sleep breathing disorders. The exact details of education and work history aren’t listed here, but the focus stays practical and patient-centred.
Information about research and any clinical trials isn’t shown here. If you want to know whether there’s any trial option for a specific condition, it’s best to ask the practice directly.
