Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Rvn: Who has been to a sleep clinic and exactly what goes on there?
My husband thinks I have sleep apnea. I probably do, but I am very reluctant to pursue it medically. I don’t want to go to a sleep clinic. I don’t think I could fall asleep with someone watching me or if I were hooked up to things. Also, if I did have sleep apnea, there’s no way I would wear one of those face masks anyways, because I wouldn’t be able to sleep, so it would seem like a waste of time and money just to find out I have it and refuse to do anything for it. Maybe if I knew exactly what would go on there, I wouldn’t be so against going. I guess I’d want to know how horrible the CPAP masks are, too. I sleep on my stomach. Any other way and I can’t really sleep either, so I don’t see how this is all going to work out.

yes, they hook you up to electrodes, to monitor brain waves, to see what stage of sleep you are in, and yes at times people monitor you.

I had septoplasty they think I have scarring that is now causing sleep apnea how is that possible my roof of my mouth vibrates and my snoring increased after the septoplasty. What happened? He is doing a sleep study but cant you tell some other way?
Is this a sign of a bad surgeon? Move septum vibrates too and the roof of mouth only when I sleep? Im not fat it was the surgery
