Two other tests may be needed next. The oximetry test involves just a small device that is fitted over your finger and is completely painless. It will monitor the amount of oxygen in your blood at any time. The portable cardio-respiratory testing device may also be required. Here, you will be able to take the device home with you and it will determine what is happening with your oxygen levels and your breathing while you sleep.

All of these tests are necessary and they are a window into what is happening with your own condition. You will find them to be easy to handle and they give your doctor clear views of what is happening and what to do next.
