Re: Sleep Apnea Test

"I do not think I could fall asleep at a sleep lab"

That was what I thought too - but actually it was very easy.  They hooked up 21 different wires/monitoring devices to me and they kept a watch on me during the sleep (one way glass) - much, much more information than any home test can provide.  As discrepancies arise the monitor "monitor" can enter notes of what's going on into the computer at the exact time it is happening.  

My primary care doctor told me that I didn't "...have sleep apnea because you are not fat."  How wrong he was and I was sent by another doctor to a sleep specialist.  Heavy people are more prone to apnea, but others can get it as well.  After being diagnosed with apnea I was sent to the sleep lab again to get fitted for a CPAP mask.  So the diagnosis and solution required two visits.  That was two years ago and I've been through about six masks before finding one that works and that's the ongoing battle for me.  Many have difficulties with the masks as well and give up at that point.

I suggest going to the lab.
