Thank you for your comment.
I have actually attempted to see a doctor about the issue, and I was told in that doctor sort of way, that I'm crazy to think there's something wrong with my breathing. Even after mentioning that I stop on occasion when sleeping. I unfortunately can only go to the free clinic, and I feel that the doctor did not want to be there as it was (I sometimes wonder if they are there for court ordered community service), and treated me as if I were not so intelligent. I am debating on going back and seeing if I can find someone else who is willing to help. I am in the process of acquiring state assistance, but it's slow.
