If a diagnosis is made, he'll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:

Yes, there are two types of sleep apnea – obstructive and central. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type and is caused by a blockage in the airway during sleep. Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain does not send signals to your breathing muscles to take a breath.
Before your sleep apnea test, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about your medical history and sleep patterns. You should also avoid caffeine or any other stimulants such as alcohol or nicotine four hours before bedtime. It’s also important to get plenty of rest the night before the test.
