Go to your normal family doctor first and they'll discuss the options for more in depth tests in your area. You can also do some pretty significant searching online about it too. Have your girlfriend read the list of symtoms. If you have more than a couple symptoms, go see someone A.S.A.P.

If you stop breathing, that's not good... but it's not always apnea. It takes a certain length of stoppage, a body awakening, and frequency of stoppage to be apnea. No matter what they diagnose you with though, stopping breathing lowers your oxygen level in your blood, which causes your heart to race... which is why the risk is so high for heart attack and stroke. Only way to know for sure is to have someone check you out. You and your girlfriend will get more sleep and you'll end up with more energy, for uh... other things.
