Please provide some more information about your concern

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor

Usually, we suspect for sleep apnea when there are present some signs and symptoms such as chronic snoring, mostly obese patients, smoking patient and sleepy during the daytime, bad concentration headache and so on.

So please could you provide some more information regarding your concern as above in order I can help you better?

Theoretically, if we suspect for sleep apnea we recommend a Plethysmography examination for the patient and if it comes positive we can diagnose sleep apnea if not then no sleep apnea present.

Hope to have been helpful

Regards and feel free to contact me again

I do snore chronically and have constant headaches and problems concentrating i am always craving just a half hour of sleep..... But as I said in my earlier question is every once in a while i do feel fresh and vigorous does that mean it is not sleep apnea

Brief Answer:
It doesn't seem like sleep apnea

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

As you explain the situation in my opinion this is not sleep apnea but to be completely sure you can do Polysomnography test and to see exa if you have sleep in or not
You should discuss with your doctor for this.

Hi again

According to your symptoms probably an overstressed or overtired period you are currently encountering. Honestly no other medical condition I think to be.However to beure let's do the examination and after to get the right treatment if will be needed.

Thank you so much for your clarification. I will speak to my dr about polysomnography. However i'm wondering if anything else comes to mind hearing my symptoms.
