Sleep Apnea Testing

Sleep apnea (apnea from Greek for “without breath”), a chronic sleep disorder involving cessation of breathing during sleeps, can be difficult to diagnose. The sufferer is rarely aware of the breathless episodes, and the daytime symptoms are drowsiness, morning headache, dry mouth and raw throat. The most recognizable symptom, usually noticed by family or friends, is loud and excessive snoring. To diagnose sleep apnea, though, requires sleep apnea testing.
