Question
letimv1125
Hello,
I need some information, I am currently rated at 70% (ptsd mainly and minor injuries). I have been diagnosed with Sleep apnea issued a CPAP, and had surgery to remove my rather large tonsils to help with my breathing. I am still having the symptoms of sleep apnea albeit not as bad as before but they are still there and I depend on my coffee to remain awake, and take mid afternoon naps. Still all plagued with nightmares or vivid dreams, I wake up with headaches and a dry mouth every morning sometimes I do not sleep all night. It's tough to sleep with a mask on because i can only sleep laying face down but i do what i can. Anyway is there a chance i'll be able to get my service-connected rating? I was not diagnosed with the sleep apnea until after I got out, but I was treated for sleep disorders and given medication to try and sleep better, but it was not until after I got out that I really followed up on the problem because it got progressively worse.
Thank you.
