sleep studies snoring
Could this still be sleep apnea or what else could it be?

I went in for a checkup the other day with the complaint of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which has been going on for years as well as excessive snoring during the night which has become unbearable for my partner. My doc wants me to have a sleep study done to be checked for sleep apnea although I don’t wake up gasping for air and my partner also says that I don’t (and he would know since my snoring keeps him up most of the night, lol). Could this still be sleep apnea or could the sleep study find another problem if there is one? I’m really nervous and embarassed about having this done. I’m only 24 though and the EDS has me drained and the snoring has my partner drained and I just want my problems to be fixed. I have already had my thyroid checked and that was fine so hypothyroidism has been ruled out. My Epworth Sleepiness Scale my score is high (that I did online – I haven’t talked to the sleep doctor about it yet, I see them in 3 weeks). Any help?? Thanks!

With sleep apnea, although you do wake up gasping, 99% of the time you won’t remember in the morning.

Good luck
