Do I need another sleep study?


Posted by Morpheus on January 10, 2001 at 08:29:30:

I was originally tested for, (and diagnosed with), apnea about 8 years ago. I was re-tested by Stanford U about 4 years ago. On this most recent test, (4 yrs. ago), I was unable to sleep, and was never re-tested.

How often should I have a study done? Or should I only need to be tested if there is a problem, such as the quality of my sleep deteriorating?

Is there any “rule of thumb” for this?

Thanks in advance!

Morpheus
