• Done in a sleep lab such as ours with a polysomnogram.

• Our sleep lab is equipped with state of the art equipment.

• Frequently patients are prescribed CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure).

• or BiPAP (Bilevel positive airway pressure device).

• To establish the correct setting of the CPAP a second night of testing is sometimes needed.

• CPAP Most patients tolerate it well.

Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea and should not be ignored.
