Frequently asked
- What is sleep apnea?
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) happens when the upper airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing brief drops in oxygen and fragmented sleep. It is associated with daytime sleepiness, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes, and increased motor vehicle crash risk.
- How is sleep apnea diagnosed?
- Most adults are diagnosed with a home sleep apnea test (HSAT). Ondoc can evaluate your symptoms, screen with STOP-BANG, and refer you for a home sleep study. People with significant comorbidities or suspected central sleep apnea need an in-lab polysomnogram instead.
- Why does sleep apnea matter for a DOT physical?
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) examiners are required to evaluate drivers for sleep apnea risk. Untreated moderate-to-severe OSA can disqualify a CDL driver until treatment is established and compliance documented.
- What treatments are available?
- First-line therapy for moderate to severe OSA is positive airway pressure (CPAP/APAP). Mild cases may benefit from weight loss, positional therapy, or oral appliances. Surgery is reserved for specific anatomic problems.
