Sleep apnea: A physician must be seen to determine the correct diagnosis. An overnight , monitored sleep study ( psg) is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea.

Apnea or seizures: A sleep study (psg) will give you the answer you want. See a sleep physician who can order the test and interpret the results.

Sleep study: Sleep studies are the most accurate tests for diagnosing sleep apnea and rule out other sleep conditions. If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, your doctor will refer you to have a sleep study also called PSG. Good luck.
