Well, I was looking on the internet about Sleep Apnea and heard that it can kill you. So pretty much I have all the symptoms. To diagnose OSA costs over $5,000 and apparently no insurance covers it. I have no idea what I can do. I think it is ridiculous and unbelievable how it costs so much. HELP!!!

Obstructive sleep apnea is diagnosed with a sleep study. Most insurances do cover this fully or partially. I am not sure where you heard that they didn’t. If you do have sleep apnea, then this is treated with a special breathing machine called CPAP at night to reduce the apneic episodes. Talk to your doctor about this.
