Sleep Apnea Screener in
Las Vegas and Next Steps
Our sleep apnea screener is a simple first step for people in Las Vegas who want to check their risk before moving forward with care. It is not a diagnosis, but it can help you decide whether a sleep study and follow-up visit at Red Rock Sleep & Airway Solutions may be the right next step.
Could This Sleep Apnea Quiz Point to a Bigger Issue?
This short sleep apnea quiz is based on common STOP-Bang risk factors linked to obstructive sleep apnea OSA. It looks at signs like whether you snore loudly, stop breathing during the night, feel tired, fatigued, or have high blood pressure. It also helps separate common OSA concerns from central sleep apnea without going too deep.
If you often feel tired, wake up sleepy, or have symptoms your partner has observed, this sleep apnea self-assessment can help you check your risk.
How Does STOP-Bang Work and What Does Your Score Mean?
The STOP-Bang questionnaire asks yes-or-no questions about snoring, daytime tiredness, observed pauses in breathing, blood pressure, body mass index or BMI, age, neck circumference, and whether the patient is male. Some versions note a neck size above 16 inches as part of the score.
Your total score helps determine whether you are at low risk, intermediate, or high risk for OSA. A higher score does not mean you are diagnosed, but it may mean a sleep study or sleep apnea test is worth discussing.
Understanding Your STOP-Bang Questionnaire Results
The STOP-Bang questionnaire is widely used in sleep medicine to determine your risk of obstructive sleep apnea OSA. This screening tool asks simple questions about symptoms such as loud snoring, whether anyone observed you stop breathing during the night, and if you feel tired, fatigued or sleepy during the daytime. It also considers factors like body mass index (BMI), age, neck circumference (including measurements like 16 inches or more), and whether the patient is male.
Based on your answers, your score will place you in low risk, intermediate risk, or high risk categories. This does not provide a diagnosis, but it helps determine whether you should visit a sleep center, consult a sleep specialist or doctor, and schedule further testing such as a sleep study to confirm if sleep apnea is present.
What Happens After a High-Risk Sleep Apnea Screening Test?
If your sleep apnea screening test results suggest high risk, Red Rock can help you take the next step with calm, patient-first care. We can guide patients through evaluation, at-home testing support, and treatment planning based on the results.
Sleep Apnea Screener FAQ
Is this a diagnosis?
No. This screener is only a first check.
What does low risk mean?
It means your score suggests fewer common OSA signs right now.
When should I schedule a sleep study?
If symptoms continue, your partner has observed breathing changes, or your sleep apnea screener score is higher than expected.
