Hey /adv/, I have a serious health problem. It's a sleep disorder. But it's affecting my entire life. For some reason I'm not getting enough oxygen at night and I'm really exhausted/ fatigued all the time. I've been getting bad chest pains and migraines and have been to a sleep doctor and 2 ENT doctors. So far what they've done:
>prescribed me sleep medication
>got air purifier/ humidifier
>turbinate reduction surgery
>nasal steroids
>antibiotics
>oral steroids
>maximal medical therapy (was on 3 steroids and some other shit)
>catscan on sinuses
I weigh 140. For some reason they all refuse to give me a sleep study. I've asked multiple times. I also have a deviated septum and nasal bone but they also disregard that. I'm not sure what to do. I can feel my body becoming seriously weakened from all of this. I've been seeing doctors for almost a year now and my sleep has only gotten worse. I'm afraid they're just draining my insurance but I hope to god they wouldn't do that. I've tried expressing how serious this is and have even cried when telling them the severity. I've been falling asleep in public places and even behind dumpsters and stuff. Like I feel like a crack addict, but for sleep. I really would just prefer to be euthanized at this point.
Idk what I should do
We aren't doctors anon, sorry but we can't give you a diagnosis.

You're right. Sorry for this
Do you feel better when you leave your house?
Get a 3rd opinion or go directly to a lung & throat doctor. They should be giving you a sleep study. That study should confirm that you need a CPAP device.
