Making the decision to test yourself for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can involve important decisions, one of which is where and how to get tested so you can obtain a diagnosis. Leaving this condition undiagnosed can poorly impact your quality of life and health overall, so it’s important to explore your options.  For some, lab-based polysomnography (PSG) tests aren’t as readily obtainable. Whether it’s due to location, wait times or even costs, a laboratory test conducted in a sleep clinic can pose significant issues for patients.
