Home sleep study

[Sunny-fl]

I have afib and a pacemaker and I suspect obstructive sleep apnea. For any of you who've had a home sleep study and a pacemaker did the battery run machine have any effect or reaction on your pacemaker? Thank you for any comments.

Hi, I had no problem when I had the home sleep apnea test with the battery effecting my pacemaker or difibrillator. I had more trouble actually falling asleep on the night of the test (or so I thought!). The sleep clinic were really efficient and wrote just the week after the test saying I had severe sleep apnea and I had to go to the hospital to collect my CPAP machine. I wish you good luck, and a good sleep on the night of your test.

Hi Sunny,

I am in Fl too...have you found a dr you like/ trust? I haven’t. Travel to see mine.

Cleveland Clinic is moving into the Treasure Coast area and we may have new doctors there.

Went to see them here after ablation in CC in Cleveland. Not the same... sadly.

I've heard that.
