Just wondering if anyone has granted Sleep Apnea Seconday to PTSD? If so any tips? This is what I have so far.
50% PTSD/MST
Had a home sleep study done and was diagnosed with moderate Sleep Apnea with recommendation for cpap.
Am in the process of scheduling an on campus Sleep study thru the VA per my PCP's recommendation
Have been on meds that cause weight gain xanax for anxiety and atenenol for hypertension
Have a letter from my wife stating she notice my snoring and breathing issues when we first moved into gather, this is before I gained weight.
Have a letter from a college roommate who live in the same dorm room with me a year after getting out of the service stating I snored badly then. Was in the reserves then so had to keep weight down.
Have reoccurring nightmares that interrupt my sleep patterns, Is documented.
Have eight documented studies showing that PTSD and sleep apnea are related.
Both my PCP and my Therapist both are willing to right nexus letter on my behalf.
What else should I get to help my claim?
Should I go for hypertension secondary to PTSD first?
