And you can have sleep apnea without snoring at all.You really need to have a sleep test to see if you have sleep apnea. In my case, there was no charge for the test, and it took only one night with a small device that I took home with me and used in my own bed. It measures rate and depth of breathing, pulse rate and blood pressure, and oxygen consumption. You take the device back the next day, and your results are sent to your doctor.
