Hi, I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, thanks to my OBG/GYN, he is one of a dying breed, he actually listens to his patients, he researched my files when nothing looked abnormal he immediately referred me to the sleep clinic. For 13 years since my kidney transplant I have been complaining to my primary doctors and other doctors about my fatigue, they would just run test for animiea or thyroid, but after they came back normal they would just say I needed to exercise more or try to go to bed early. I did gain a large amount of weight after my transplant, which was what I thought had to do with my excessive snoring. I wish I had brought it up to my OBG sooner, but in my opinion it's not his responsibility to pick up other doctor's slack. I just wish there were more doctors like him that listen and follow up.
