Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Patrick M: how to get prescribed a cpap?
i know the doctor has to prescribe it but here is the problem.

i need a doctor or someone in the field to answer this for me.

my psychiatrist ordered a sleep study last week. it didnt go well because i barely slept. the tech said i went into rem sleep a few times and my total sleeping time was about an hour. she said i snored loud and that was it. she said i never stopped breathing. my psychiatrist and i went through a questionnaire and i had most symptoms of sleep apnea. i knew i had sleep apnea from a long time ago but i never told my psychiatrist. the reason why my psychiatrist is interested in this is because i have some mood disorders which medication is barely treating and he doesnt want me on more meds which is understandable since i am on a lot already. he says sleep is important for me because i have adhd and bipolar and anxiety

my primary care doctor ordered a sleep study done back in 06 and it was positive for positional sleep apnea.

which doctor and which sleep study will get me a cpap?

im afraid that the 06 study is too old and im afraid that the recent sleep study is inaccurate.

see the dilemma?

See a professional Homeopath and you can avoid all this nonsense. If you think more drugs and more tests are going to solve your health problems you’re dead wrong.

I have used the machine for about a week, but can not stay asleep with it on for very long? How long does it take to adjust to these things. I am determined to use it.

I use bi-pap, but am still unable to sleep. I thought I read somewhere that there is a prescription sleeping pill that is safe for peopel with obstuctive sleep apnea to use.
