Once you confirm that you have sleep apnea by using home-based methods, then the next thing to do is to go see a sleep clinic.<\/p><p class=\"\">Your sleep doctor may use your sleep diary and home sleep test results to help diagnose your condition further.

These include things like whether they have any family members who <a href=\"https:\/\/nerdsleep.com\/top-products-chronic-insomnia\/\">suffer from insomnia<\/a>. After analyzing all possible medical history, including your height, weight, neck circumference, high blood pressure, etc., the next step is to analyze any factors that may be causing your sleep apnea.<\/p><ol><li class=\"\"><strong>Electroencephalography (EEG):<\/strong> this is used to view and analyze brain waves in people. This test measures and records any or all abnormal patterns present in the transmission of electrical activity in the brain during sleep. It involves placing small wires on the head of a patient who has been asleep in a special room called a sleeping chamber.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Electrooculography (EOG):<\/strong> This test measures the electrical activity between the front and back parts of the eyes called the cornea-retina junction. The recording of electrical signals themselves is called electroencephalography (EEG) or EEG. Eye movement recordings help to determine various abnormalities during REM (rapid eye movement) sleeping patterns.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Electromyography (EMG)<\/strong>: Observes muscle activity during sleep and records all facial twitching, limb movement, REM, and tooth grinding. It analyzes electrical signals from the skeletal muscles of our brains to diagnose sleep apnea.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Electrocardiograph (ECG<\/strong>): An electrocardiograph records the rate and rhythm at which the heartbeat occurs in a patient who has been asleep for some time. It is used to diagnose patients suffering from sleep apnea.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Pulse Oximetry<\/strong>: Measures the oxygen saturation (or lack thereof) in the blood of a patient who has been asleep for some time. This method records the rate of efficiency of transport of oxygen to various organs by detecting changes in oxygen levels in the bloodstream. It works by fitting a sensor called a pulse oximeter onto the finger of a patient who has been asleep for some time.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Polysomnography (PSG)<\/strong>: It records brain activity; eyes moving; heart rate; blood pressure; oxygen saturation; breathing patterns; body position; and stages of sleep in a patient. It is done with the help of sensors attached to the head, skin, finger, neck, and chest of a human being.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Chest and Abdominal Movement Recording<\/strong>: Recording the breathing pattern of a sleeping individual by watching their chest and abdominal movements. This is done by placing a medical-sensitive belt across the chest and abdomen<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Nasal Airflow Record: <\/strong>It observes the rate of blockage of airflow through the nostrils with the use of a mask-like device placed around the nostril.<\/li><li class=\"\"><strong>Snore Microphone:<\/strong>\u00a0records the frequency and duration of snores in a sleeping person;<\/li><\/ol><p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apnea%E2%80%93hypopnea_index\">Apnea Hypopnea Index<\/a> (AHI) is a measurement used to determine whether someone has sleep apnea. It's calculated by measuring the number of times a person stops breathing during their sleep. Sleep apnea is usually classified into three categories according to AI measurement: mild (5 or less), moderate (15 to 30), and severe (&gt;30).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you think you suffer from scary sleep apnea symptoms?
