Do I Have Sleep Apnea?

This sleep apnea screener features the STOP-BANG questionnaire to help you gauge your risk for sleep apnea. Get a pen and paper ready to note down your answers to each question. Talk to your doctor about your results.

STOP-BANG (Answer yes or no for each question.)

Do you snore?

• T (tired)

Do you feel fatigued during the day?  

Do you wake up feeling like you haven’t slept?

• O (obstruction)

Have you been told you stop breathing at night?

Do you gasp for air or choke while sleeping?

• P (pressure)

Do you have high blood pressure, or are you on BP medication?

Score: If you checked YES to TWO or more questions on the STOP portion, you are at risk for OSA.
