Can sleep apnea be diagnosed and treated during a short trip to India?
Yes. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep study (polysomnography), which hospital sleep labs in India can arrange within a day or two of arrival. Results, a CPAP trial and a treatment plan often follow within the same visit. Najmcare reviews your symptoms free within 24 hours and arranges your visa letter, transport and stay.
Why international patients choose India for sleep care
Many people wait months for a sleep study at home, or pay high prices for tests and equipment. India offers quick access to sleep specialists, ENT and bariatric teams in one place.

Sleep problems we assess and treat
Obstructive sleep apnea
The throat closes during sleep, causing loud snoring, gasping and tiredness. The most common sleep breathing disorder.
Central sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation
The brain signals or the body’s breathing effort are weak during sleep. Needs specialist machines.
Chronic insomnia
Trouble falling or staying asleep. Treated first with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).
Narcolepsy and heavy daytime sleepiness
Sudden sleep attacks or constant sleepiness, confirmed with daytime nap tests.
Restless legs and limb movements
An urge to move the legs at night. Iron levels and medicines are checked.
Sleepwalking and sleep behavior disorders
Acting out dreams or walking in sleep, monitored with video sleep studies.
Children’s snoring and sleep apnea
Often linked to large tonsils. See Ear, Nose & Throat.
Shift-work and body clock problems
Sleep at the wrong time of day, treated with light therapy and schedules.
Check your sleep apnea risk
Tick everything that applies. This follows the STOP-Bang questionnaire and is a screening guide only, not a diagnosis.
A score of 0 to 2 suggests low risk. If you still snore or feel tired, ask a doctor about a sleep study.
Sleep tests and treatments
In-lab sleep study
Polysomnography records breathing, oxygen, heart rhythm, brain waves and movement overnight.
Home sleep test
A simpler device for people with a high chance of apnea and no other major illness.
CPAP, APAP and BiPAP
A mask delivers gentle air pressure to keep the airway open. A night of mask and pressure set-up (titration) gives the right settings.
Oral appliances
A custom mouthpiece moves the jaw forward, for mild to moderate apnea or if CPAP is not tolerated.
Airway surgery
Septum, tonsil, palate or jaw surgery in selected patients, with ENT and jaw surgeons.
Weight management
Diet, exercise and, where suitable, bariatric surgery can greatly reduce apnea.
Travelling to India with a CPAP machine
A CPAP machine is a medical device. Pack it carefully and plan your power supply.
- Carry the machine in hand baggage, not checked luggage.
- Take a doctor’s letter and check your airline’s medical device rules.
- India uses 230 V power with plug types C, D and M, so bring a universal adapter.
- Most modern CPAPs accept 100–240 V. Check the label on your power supply.
- Use distilled water for the humidifier, which we can help you find.
- Tell us your machine model so the sleep lab can match your settings.

Questions patients ask about sleep treatment in India
How is sleep apnea diagnosed in India?
With an overnight sleep study in a hospital sleep lab, or a home test for suitable patients. The test records breathing, oxygen and sleep stages, and a sleep physician explains the result.
How much does a sleep study cost in India?
An in-lab sleep study may cost about $200 to $600. A CPAP titration night costs about $300 to $700. You receive a written estimate before travel.
Can I bring my CPAP machine to India?
Yes. Carry it in hand baggage with a doctor’s letter. India uses 230 V power with plug types C, D and M, so bring a universal adapter.
Is surgery an option for sleep apnea?
For selected patients. Options include septum, tonsil, palate and jaw surgery, and weight-loss surgery. CPAP is usually tried first, and the team explains which choice fits you.
Can insomnia be treated without sleeping pills?
Yes. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment. It teaches sleep habits and thinking skills, and can be continued at home by video.
Will I sleep properly during a hospital sleep study?
Most people sleep well enough for an accurate test. Rooms are private and quiet, and the team applies sensors gently. Tell us if you are a light sleeper.
Can children with loud snoring be treated?
Yes. Children’s snoring is often linked to large tonsils or adenoids. A sleep study and ENT review decide whether surgery or other treatment helps.
