How can I test if I have sleep apnea?

Posted by: Alan in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, tags: Apnea., Sleep, Test

Hello,
From the symptoms I suspect that I’ve sleep apnea.I want to confirm it. What are the possible available to test if I really have sleep apnea?
I live alone,so no one to monitor for me. Is there any instrument available which I can use to monitor my breathing and check if I’ve sleep apnea or not?
If available any brand suggestion?

Share and Enjoy:

As far as I know you can’t. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP (continuous pressure) machine to sleep at night. You should talk to your regular doctor about your suspicions. He/she will go through a questionaire with you and if you score the right way, he/she will set up an appointment at a sleep clinic where they will observe your sleep and diagnose you. You should also check with your insurance company. From what I understand, they don’t all cover the sleep centers.
