Are you currently dealing with excessive fatigue, lingering headaches, and decreased memory? If you notice any of these symptoms on a regular basis, you may have sleep apnea. Undiagnosed and untreated, sleep apnea can seriously impact your health in many ways. But before you can do anything about your sleep apnea, you must receive the proper diagnosis. If you have ever wondered about sleep apnea testing, the answer might be simpler than you think.

There are two main forms of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea testing is vital for correctly diagnosing the type you have. Central sleep apnea is a neurological issue requiring care from specialists and neurologists. Obstructive sleep apnea is more common. It occurs when the in your throat, tongue, or other soft tissues relax and obstruct your airway as you sleep. Since you’re not getting enough air, your brain senses an inability to breath and briefly wakes you so you can open your airway. The awakening is so short you usually don’t remember it.
