In April when I took this test, I was 6 months pregnant and waking up choking. In hindsight, I think this was severe GERD as I had horrible reflux day and night and could barely eat. Do you think I need to retake this test? Should I be concerned I have apnea or another sleep disorder?
Edit + the doctor wasn’t really concerned until I told him I was super concerned because I was pregnant (this was a home test). He prescribed a cpap trial because I asked for it due to pregnancy. I do not sleep well with the machine.

I don’t know how to edit my post again but I think this might be relevant too — I have bad allergies and always have one nostril clogged. Im going to see an ENT in October and see if I have a deviated septum or something that can be fixed
