It is difficult to look for. the Doctor will ask if you are sleeping well, and you will say "Yes" (usually) because you do not realize that there is an issue. You got up because you thought your bladder was full. No, you awoke because CO2 levels were building, and then you realized that your bladder needed attention. Had you not been awakened by an increased CO2 level you would have slept through the event and your bladder would not have bothered you. It can hold a lot more than you might think. I can hold up to 1000 cc and not feel an urge to go.

So a quick question about "are you sleeping well" will not evoke an answer that would lead a practitioner to investigate sleep apnea.

The Sleep tests are expensive, and involve an all night test in a sleep laboratory to diagnose the problem, and another visit to titrate a solution for a CPAP machine.
