I bought a wearable blood oxygen meter as I was concerned I had apnea. A previous study was inconclusive (I don’t think I slept the whole night). If I sleep on my back, I’m certain I have apnea, but haven’t validated with the o2 meter. Sleeping on my stomach, my o2 levels were acceptable all night. Once I confirm apnea on my back, I’ll probably get another sleep study (I’ve gained at least 30lbs since the last), and a CPAP... just like my father.

Any recommendation?

Not the OP but I use a Garmin Vivosmart 4 for this purpose - it is the cheapest Garmin I found with the SpOx functionality. I have a feeling it reads lower than a fingertip device due to its wrist location but it is very helpful to compare measurements across nights to see how things went.
