When should you see a doctor?
You should consider discussing your symptoms with a doctor if you have more than a few of the warning signs of this sleep disorder. They may have some advice that’s specifically tailored to your situation, or they can recommend you see a sleep specialist.
A certified sleep specialist can perform a sleep study or polysomnogram to help diagnose the issue. This test monitors many things like breathing, brain waves, eye movement, and oxygen levels in your blood.
Gasping and snoring sounds, as well as stopped breathing during slumber, are also measured. The most significant thing is to seek help if you think this may be happening to you.
