Sleep Apnea Risk Check
Frontend preview — no upload or external service.
Risk factors present
5 of 8 factors present — loud snoring, observed pauses, daytime sleepiness, BMI above 35, and neck circumference over 40 cm — which falls in the high-risk band for referral.
How the Sleep Apnea Risk Check works
- Answer honestly about snoring and pauses; a partner's observation is more reliable than your own.
- Add the measured factors: neck circumference, BMI, blood pressure, and age.
- Take the count to a doctor — three or more factors is the usual threshold for discussing a sleep study.
FAQ
Does snoring mean I have sleep apnoea?
No. Most snorers do not, but snoring combined with observed breathing pauses and daytime sleepiness is the pattern that warrants investigation.
Why does neck circumference matter?
It correlates with airway crowding better than BMI alone, which is why questionnaires ask for it separately.
Can a questionnaire replace a sleep study?
No. Screening tools are designed to be over-inclusive so that few cases are missed, which means many people who score high do not have the condition. Diagnosis needs a sleep study.

Sleep Apnea Risk Check is a screening prompt, deliberately over-inclusive — a high count is a reason to ask for a sleep study, not a diagnosis.
