Do you wake up feeling exhausted, struggle to stay awake during the day, snore loudly at night, or experience dry mouth in the morning? These are some of the most common signs of sleep apnea. Many people live with them for years without realizing what’s really going on.
At RespShop, we’re here to help you every step of the way: from identifying sleep apnea, to getting the right prescription, to making sure your CPAP therapy is set up correctly and comfortably from day one. Starting sleep therapy can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
What Is Sleep Apnea and Why It Affects Your Daily Life
Sleep apnea causes repeated pauses in breathing throughout the night, sometimes up to 30 times per hour. These interruptions are so brief that you may never remember them, but your body does. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can affect your energy levels, focus, mood, cardiovascular health, and overall quality of life.
The good news? Getting answers (and treatment) is much easier than most people expect.
Test for Sleep Apnea at Home (No Lab Required)
Traditionally, diagnosing sleep apnea meant doctor visits, long wait times, and overnight sleep lab studies. At RespShop, we offer a simple at-home sleep apnea test designed to fit into real life.
Our home sleep test allows you to:
-
Sleep comfortably in your own bed
-
Avoid overnight lab stays
-
Get fast, physician-reviewed results
You’ll receive a small, easy-to-use disposable device that fits on your finger while you sleep. It tracks key data like oxygen levels and breathing patterns over multiple nights. Your results are securely reviewed by a certified sleep physician, who can provide both a diagnosis and a prescription if treatment is needed.
For many customers, this means going from symptoms to treatment in just a few days.
Already Have a Prescription? Sharing It Is Easy
If you’ve already purchased your CPAP machine, we make it simple to share your prescription after checkout, so your equipment arrives properly configured for your therapy needs.
On our new Prescription Upload Page, you can choose the option that works best for you:
-
Upload your prescription online
Just complete a short form and upload your RX file. -
Send it by email
Prefer email? No problem! our team will take it from there. -
Send it by fax
We still support fax for clinics and providers who prefer it.
Once we receive your prescription, our team ensures your CPAP machine is set to the correct pressure and therapy settings before it ships, so it’s ready when it arrives.
Don’t Have a Prescription Yet? We Can Help With That Too
If you’re not quite there yet, you still have options, and we’ll guide you through them.
Leave Your Doctor’s Information
If you already have a physician, you can simply share their contact details. Our team can reach out directly to request your prescription on your behalf.
Have an Upcoming Appointment?
We offer a downloadable PDF prescription form you can bring to your appointment or send to your doctor ahead of time. Once filled out and signed, this form works as a valid prescription.
Need a Renewal Prescription?
If you’re buying a second CPAP machine or replacing a mask and no longer have your original RX, our Prescription Renewal Service makes it easy. In a 15-minute online appointment, you’ll connect with a licensed physician who can issue a renewal prescription, often within hours.
Need a Diagnosis First?
Our at-home sleep test is also available if you’ve never been diagnosed. It’s a convenient, affordable way to get both a diagnosis and prescription without visiting a sleep lab.
