I've had 3 of these tests over the years. It's a little awkward but no big deal at all. I sleep with my cpap every night, and im so grateful for it. I sleep great. I'm healthy. I wouldn't sleep without it.

I’ve got one of these scheduled for next week. My doctor pushed for and recommended the in person because he believes it’s better. My insurance denied the in person test. I recognize that the at home test is fine as I don’t have any heart conditions or other conditions that would make an in person test more necessary. But I find it frustrating and insulting that MY DOCTOR ordered the in person test and the INSURANCE that I pay for somehow thinks they are in a position to determine what’s better for my health more so than my actual doctor and myself. Screw insurance companies.

I have had insurance deny two ordered tests ( not sleep related). The first one I had and did not know it was denied so they are making me pay the bill. The second test I got notified in time and have cancelled the procedure. I don't want or need the hassle.

do I have to go to my primary care doctor in order to get a referral and begin this long process? Is there any easier way does anyone have someplace that I could go or order the in home test online. I haven't been able to sleep for a long time and I had no idea it was sleep apnea but someone told me that likely is now. I'm desperate to find some help quickly. I don't understand this crap.

Where can I purchase a home sleep apnea test? I need one for my DOT phsyical. I don’t have trouble breathing at night but due to my BMI doctor wanted me to take one
@samcross16323 жыл бұрын
Get a referral to sleep medicine. Most doctors will require you to prove compliance/ effective treatment before clearing you. In our practice we generally have to send a 1 month report of usage and then yearly for the DOT (1 year of data)

Go to another dr to get a DOT card its a hassle they want to make money thats how it works, i got the same experience my primary doctor even told me i dont have sleep apnea concentra insisted and they will let you buy the test kit and cpap at your own pocket it will take a month to do all this crap.

I had a sleep apnea test when I was 9 years old that was on Friday May 6, 2016 and I didn’t do the test at home or a hospital it was like a special building just with nurses and rooms. I think I didn’t sleep at all because I was so scared but the nurses told me that I did I sleep a little bit.

@cuberious14192 жыл бұрын
Mouth breathing generally isn’t good for you. Nasal-breathing is the way to go. It is naturally how we are meant to breathe. A lot of people resort to mouth-breathing because they think their nose is too stuffy, but the less you breathe through your nose, the smaller the airways get because you stop using it very often. There are a ton of benefits to breathing through your nose. It may seem uncomfortable at first.

My nasal septum had been injured as a child followed by surgery 10 yrs after the injury. They tell me it is deviated again, so often I can only breathe out of one side which results in some mouth breathing. I have been following Dr Mandell and Dr Berg on KZfaq. Both of them have great natural holistic suggestions for overcoming sleep apnea.

Unless you are awake and purposefully holding your breath, your breathing is only going to stop during sleep if you do have sleep apnea. This at home test is made for quickness and convenience to get an initial diagnosis. If it’s confirmed that you do have sleep apnea, you must have a follow up in clinic test where they do further monitoring and more extensive testing :-)
