    Re: New Here - Possible GPA with Nasal involvement

    Re: New Here - Possible GPA with Nasal involvement

    The problem I have is that the docs don’t seem to be listening to me. My GP has written me off as being anxious. I totally agree that whatever is affecting my breathing has caused anxiety. I’d say...

    Re: New Here - Possible GPA with Nasal involvement

    I asked my GP about a sleep study because I felt like I have apneas. He said I didn’t fit the bill because I’m not overweight and don’t snore chronically. Other doctors have said that’s rubbish and...

    Re: New Here - Possible GPA with Nasal involvement
