sleep study is expensive.

The machine is expensive, if import from USA, machine alone cost around USD1000 and warranty only cover in USA.
in singapore, the machine cause SGD2000 with 2 years warranty.
this i no idea,.
need to do a nose scope to check any blockage during awake.
then sleep test to check the AHI and O2 level. <-- overnight sleep test in hospital single room while like been an experiment by a mad scientist in the movie. full of wire around you,.

after that, rent the machine to try 2 weeks to see i able to accept the machine or not before go buy the machine.

i did the sleep scope test also to check where really blocking the airway.

Sleep study is not that expensive call up the local private hospital or you can arrange one at home should cost around RM 300 to RM 500.

The machine is expensive but it's around RM 3.5K

i think need an ENT specialist for the sleep test.
mine has been done in Singapore hospital.

the sleep test cost me SGD4500. but covered by insurance.

the scope cost SGD450 during the first consultation.

check with the insurance agent to ensure is it covered.

ENT, respiratory physician, Neurologist depend who has the expertise. Conducting the test is not expensive and you can always bring the results to the specialist either in government or private.
