Home Sleep Testing

Home Sleep testing is a viable diagnostic study done in your own bedroom that monitors your breathing, heart rate, blood oxygen level and other information about your body while your sleeping. Home sleep apnea testing is used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. A physician may recommend home sleep apnea testing if:

  • It is highly likely that you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
  • You have no significant medical conditions other than the suspected obstructive sleep apnea

You should not have a home sleep apnea test if:

  • The physician suspects you may have another sleep disorder
  • You have certain medical conditions including pulmonary diseases, neuromuscular diseases or congestive heart failure.
