There are however devices with nasal and finger detectors, that can rule out sleep apnea. They can be loaned or rented from a sleep lab for a modest cost. If you attempt to self medicate with a CPAP, you are flirting with death. The wrong pressure can block breathing rather than assist it.
It’s important to note that no app on your phone can take the place of a formal diagnosis from your doctor and a supervised, comprehensive treatment plan. Sleep apnea is serious and can lead to a variety of life-threatening conditions. When sleep apnea is left untreated, the risk of premature death from any cause triples.

Indeed, the definitions do not line up exactly. In particular, narcolepsy type 1 includes narcolepsy patients who have cataplexy, in addition to patients who may not have cataplexy, but may have CSF hypocretin-1 concentration, measured by immunoreactivity, either ≤ 110 pg/mL or <1/3 of mean values obtained in normal subjects with the same standardized assay. At this point in time, clinicians should use the ICD-10 definitions when coding.
Requirements for interpretation of sleep studies vary from insurer to insurer. Some payers do allow board-eligible physicians to interpret studies without being over-read by a board- certified physician. Physicians without board certification in sleep medicine should check with each insurance provider they work with to determine if they can interpret sleep studies without being over-read. The Standards for Accreditation (November 2016 A-1/B-2) state that the Facility Director must either hold a PhD and be board-certified in sleep medicine or a licensed physician (MD or DO) who is board-certified in sleep medicine by either a member board of the ABMS or a member board of the AOA or has completed a sleep fellowship and is eligible and waiting for the next sleep medicine examination.
