If you think you have sleep apnea, it’s important to find out for sure so that you can begin treatment and start enjoying the benefits of better sleep and a healthier life.
Take the symptoms quiz to determine if you are having symptoms of sleep apnea. Print out your results to take to your doctor.
Discuss your sleep apnea risk test results with your primary care doctor, who will likely help you schedule a sleep study.
Look into sleep testing options, including asking your doctor whether your health condition allows for in-home sleep testing.
Once you receive your diagnosis from your doctor, he or she can tell you whether the Philips Respironics Dream Family or the Philips NightBalance solution is right for you.___________________________________________
