I'll relinquish to Rested Gal . She can tell you much better than I can how your Dr. COULD have you use a auto cpap to record your breathing and use a recording oximeter to check your O2 level. Its not a sleep study buy it works well to diagnose the sleep apnia . For those without insurance this is an option.

Cheers,

Chris
