Recognizing the Symptoms of OSA

Loud snoring, choking or gasping for air during sleep, morning headaches, difficulty staying asleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness are all common symptoms of OSA. In addition, OSA has been linked to depression, anxiety, and memory problems. It is essential to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.

At-Home Testing for OSA

If you suspect you have OSA, let’s get you scheduled for an at-home sleep test. These tests are easy and convenient, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. They typically involve wearing a small device that measures your breathing, oxygen levels, and other bodily functions during sleep. These tests can help diagnose OSA and determine the severity of the condition.
