Let me start with a little background information, I am currently rated 80% with IU. My sc are 70% depression, 10% right knee, 10% tinnitis. This increase for IU was just recent in August. The last few months my blood pressure has been out of control and The docs have increased my meds but I still have pitting edema in both legs and run about 150/90 with the med increase. My psych doc has asked if I have ever been tested for sleep apnea since I complain of lack of sleep, chronic fatigue,and difficulty concentrating. I've had to drop out of Voc Rehab due to these symptoms. My vocrehab counselor is calling me infeasible. My questions are:
Should I just apply for P&T? I've applied for SSD and am waiting to hear back should I wait for this before applying for P&T
Should I apply for high blood pressure first then sleep apnea?
Should I wait to be tested for sleep apnea first before filing for high blood pressure?
