sleep apnea is terrible. are you obese?

yeah.
take care of your health man. when sleep apnea patients go bad, they go really bad.

fatigue despite sufficient sleep, somnolence, waking up at night due to breathlessness, snoring. these are the usual red flag early symptoms

sleep study appointment is hard to get, and once youre diagnosed the cpap machine is expensive.

sleep study/polysomnography
you sleep with leads attached and they graph a bunch of things

you need to see an ENT specialist, i think in my theyre the only subspecialties certified for this. us uses a different system

its notoriously hard to get, OSA is very common so the queue is long

if you suspect you have OSA, this is a good time to invest in a spo2 monitor with a logging app like apple watch. also, audio record yourself sleeping.

if your monitor shows drop in spo2 >4 during your snoring bout, thats suspicious.

yes they can

thats not how "medical grade" equipment works
