The STOP-BANG questionnaire is widely used to assess potential risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a condition that not only affects your quality of sleep, but your everyday life.
Answer a few short questions to determine if you or your loved one may have sleep apnea.
Do you snore loudly (loud enough to be heard through closed doors or your bed-partner elbows you for snoring at night)?
Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during the daytime (such as falling asleep during driving or talking to someone)?
Has anyone observed you stop breathing or choking/gasping during your sleep?
Do you have or are being treated for high blood pressure?
