Could sleep apnea be diagnosed with embletta?

Yes, it can: It is a portable device specifically for home sleep testing. Home sleep studies are generally followed up by in lab sleep studies. The final diagnosis is therefore generally done in a lab because that is where the CPAP pressure is established.

R/O OSA: OSA can be suggested by history and physical. Excess snoring/daytime sleepiness/apneic episodes/ aM headaches. And the Exam obesity/small oral airway/collar size>18. The definitive test is a PSG with split night/CPAP titration. I would request copy of sleep study and get a second opinion if you are not satisfied with the options. You are young CPAP can be difficult to tolerate. ENT FOR UPP EVAL.
