I know  am borderline sleep apnea &  it has been proved pulse drops after injestion but  was not  given treatment until cardiac arrest  having had classic symptons ignored.The surgeons said I was lucky after begging weekly for assistance of NHS .

Now I have been  told by the hospital borderline for a pacemaker but NHS GP surgery via LA holding their funds ,  has now assumed the  hospital control even though I know the   preventative medication causing excessive sleepiness & pulse to drop.

Should this be of concern because the system seems to regard concern as mental problem. Is this Care in Community run by non discretionary call centres?!

    You need to be tested possibly at cardiology first.I am being passed from pillar to post with CPAP machine as low heart pumping can cause problems all over body including lungs.
