Does CPAP Help For Better Sleep And Avoid Snoring?
I am having some issues sleeping, snoring and at times waking up almost feeling like I have to gasp for air. Is there a way for me to get a cpap to see if that will help me sleep better. I am a pretty busy father with 4 kids will a full time job and find it difficult to break out for a night for a sleep test... what do you think?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
The way you are describing your symptoms, there is very high possibility of sleep apnea in your case.
Sleep study is must for the diagnosis of sleep apnea.
And based on severity on sleep study, titration with BiPAP /CPAP is done.
So CPAP will definitely help you but for exact titration of CPAP pressures, you need sleep study.
So CPAP use is must in your case.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
