Do You Have Sleep Apnea?
The STOP-BANG Questionnaire is a simple, clinically validated screening tool used to assess your risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Answer yes or no to each question below.
S — Do you snore loudly?
T — Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during the day?
O — Has anyone observed you stop breathing or gasping for air during your sleep?
P — Do you have or are you being treated for high blood pressure?
B — Is your BMI greater than 35?
A — Are you 40 years of age or older?
N — Is your neck circumference greater than 16 inches (women) or 17 inches (men)?
G — Are you male?
If you answered yes to 2 or more of these questions, you may be at risk for sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with twice the risk of stroke, five times the risk of heart attack, and seven times the risk of motor vehicle accident.
