Obstructive sleep apnea

Primary care can evaluate concerns that may suggest obstructive sleep apnea, including snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, daytime sleepiness, or non-restorative sleep. Assessment helps determine whether sleep testing and specialist coordination are appropriate.

What your care may include.

The scope of obstructive sleep apnea is guided by your clinical needs and the information reviewed at your visit. The following areas can form part of the conversation or care plan when appropriate.

  • Sleep-symptom and medical-history review
  • Clinically appropriate screening
  • Sleep-testing coordination when indicated
  • Specialist and equipment-provider coordination

Important expectations

An office screening does not establish every sleep diagnosis. Testing, equipment, and specialist treatment may occur outside the practice.

A clearer start to your care.

Bring information about your sleep concerns, current medications, and any previous sleep studies. Share observations from a bed partner if available.

When arranging care, ask the office about availability, appointment type, required records, costs, and any insurance questions. Do not change medication or begin special test preparation unless your clinician instructs you to do so.
