is it just an oximetry test?


RE: translating results help - dolf2786 - 04-23-2016

To be honest all I was told was that it would be a sleep apnea test.


RE: translating results help - DariaVader - 04-23-2016

what did the test gear look like? where are you located?


RE: translating results help - dolf2786 - 04-23-2016

It was a small take home device. It attached to my chest that had a strap that measured rise and fall, the oxygen sensor on my finger, and the nose house that also ran to my mouth.

The results don't show the typical information for a sleep apnea test.
Like AHI number: (the number of times you stopped breathing per hour.). Or if you
experienced Central Apneas, RERA's, etc.

I would call my doctor and question this.



RE: translating results help - dolf2786 - 04-23-2016

Thank you for your input. I also was wondering how to translate the results. I am waiting on the call, they said they would call me within a week or two. I was able to download the online results.

It does not take a week or two to answer your question.
