This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a home-based sleep apnea test works as well as the standard laboratory test for diagnosing sleep apnea in people with high blood pressure. Sleep apnea is a common condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep, and it can make high blood pressure harder to control. The study wants to see if the home test is easier to use, leads to more diagnoses, and helps more patients get treatment.
Many people with high blood pressure have undiagnosed sleep apnea, which increases their risk of heart disease and stroke. The current standard test requires a night in a sleep lab, which is inconvenient and hard to access for many patients. This trial is testing whether a simpler home test could catch more cases and get more people the treatment they need.

You will be randomly assigned to either use a portable sleep testing device at home or come to a sleep laboratory for an overnight test. Both groups will have their blood pressure monitored and sleep-related symptoms tracked over 6 months. You'll complete follow-up visits and questionnaires to assess your satisfaction, blood pressure control, and whether you received treatment for sleep apnea if it was diagnosed.
