I’ve finally scheduled an appointment with a sleep specialist, but there’s a catch. I can't get the polysomnography done the same night as the initial consultation. That means I'd have to make the trip back out to Washington, D.C. two days later, which honestly isn't happening—it's just too much of a trek.
I’m curious if anyone here has gone through this before. What’s the actual end goal? In my specific case, I already know I struggle to fall asleep, so I'm wondering what the point of the test really is. If the final result is just being handed a prescription, why bother paying for the whole study? I already have my ECB results, and I'm pretty sure those will give the doctor plenty to work with.
What can they actually uncover with a polysomnography? Once you get the report, what kind of findings do they usually present, and what does a typical solution or medication plan look like?
