Sleep apnoea risk checklist
This checklist flags patterns that deserve a proper sleep apnoea guide or GP conversation. It does not diagnose sleep apnoea.
Checklist
Use this as a decision guide, not as a diagnosis.
| Question | If yes, think about | Best next page |
|---|---|---|
| Has anyone noticed breathing pauses? | Strong sleep apnoea signal | Sleep apnoea signs |
| Do you wake choking or gasping? | Breathing disruption | Sleep apnoea signs |
| Are you very sleepy in the day? | Poor sleep quality / safety issue | Sleep apnoea signs |
| Do you wake to pee repeatedly? | Nocturia or fragmented sleep | Pee or apnoea? |
| Is it mainly mild snoring only? | May still need pattern check | Snoring vs apnoea |
When to stop using a checklist
If symptoms are severe, sudden, worsening, unexplained or worrying, do not keep clicking through pages. Speak to a GP, pharmacist, NHS 111 or emergency services depending on severity.
