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?

well my dad has it. he had to go to the doctor’s for an overnight stay. But thats it I guess.
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.
