home sleep apnea test

buggies100 · Apr 18, 2018

Dr wants me to do a sleep apnea test, my wife and I are pretty sure I do not have an issue, she is a NP and has sat up at night listening to me. So I do not want to go the $2500.00 official sleep lab test. Has anybody used any of the home tests? Do you feel it was accurate?

Anything in your labs that is related to sleep apnea? I think HCT, HGB and maybe CO2 would be elevated. You could buy a pulse oximeter that records and get and idea if there is a problem.

Oh yeah absolutely HCT is never under 50. If I keep at 52 I am thrilled. Even in my late 20's and 30's HCT was 48-50 without TRT. Pulse ox does not work real well on my fingers, had frost bite when I was a teenager and have some perm damage. I did all fingers this morning and had from 92 -97!!! LOL.

I am needing a sleep test soon as well and have same question as OP. Are the "at home" sleep test good enough to get a real diagnoses and reading, or do you need to do it in office? I have trouble going to sleep, I'm not even sure if I could fall asleep in a strange place?
