An apparatus (1) for identifying different indications of a patient is provided. The apparatus includes a pressure sensor (7), for sensing pressure signals indicative of a patient's breathing, a processing unit (6), for processing and/or analyzing the signals, a flow channel (9) for providing the sensed pressure signals directly to the processing unit (6), a snore channel (10) comprising a filter means (11) and an envelope means (12) for providing information regarding the sensed pressure signals to the processing unit (6), and display means (4) for displaying the outcome of the processing and/or analysis. The processing unit (6) comprises a snore detection module (19), an OSA detection module (20) and a periodic and/or CS detection module (21) for providing a snoring index (22), an apnea/hypopnea index (23) and/or a periodic index (24).
