Home sleep study

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.

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