I believe that I may have sleep apnea

Hi! I believe that I may have sleep apnea. My fiancee has noticed that I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air and recently I have been waking up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason and it is often hard for me to fall back asleep. I often have morning headaches and everyday around lunch time I am ready for a nap even though I had plenty of sleep the night before. I have been a snorer my whole life. I am only 24 and I am two pounds underweight unlike the "majority " of sleep apnea patients. What do you think? Does anyone know how expensive sleep clinics are? Thanks!

Follow-up 1

Dawn, I recomend that you check the local hospitals and find out which ones have a sleep center. Then, call the center and ask them for the name of a doctor that they work with that you might be able to get an appt with and hopefully a referral. That's how I got my study done. Good Luck!
