I asked my GP about ordering one and now there is a kit that is sent to your home. You put a few monitors on and go to sleep as usual (or you lie there most of the night, cursing,like I did-bc I couldn't sleep)
Results are automatically sent to the company who discusses them with your doctor. I finished my test this morning and doctor called at about 11 and had already talked to the company. According to this, I have mild sleep apnea and so I can get a machine, which should be covered by insurance. My doctor feels it's worth a try to see if there is any improvement. I agree.
I wonder why a sleep test isn't ordered for all of us-as a regular practice. It might be the whole problem for some-which would be great. Or it might just improve sleep for others and we'd feel somewhat better.
Has anyone had one of these tests? Benefitted from the machine?
Wouldn't it be great if this solved the problem?
