I gotta get the sleeping test done. It's going to cost me $250 just for the test then they told me if I'm fine I get a 2 year card if not then I'll have to buy a cpap machine that could cost up to $4,000. Do any of you guys know if there's away around it? Could I go to another doctor to get another physical?

Yeah you can buy the machines used and there are a lot of places to get the other stuff cheap. You need a script for all of it and many medical supply places will have everything you need. I have bought a few machines for $100 or so that have the card, you do not need a new one that tells you all the info, they just need to see if you are using it.

Or you can simply go to a dot dr that does not check for apnea.

If the Dr. thinks you may have a problem then you should have it checked out.

Just because you use a CPAP doesn't mean you won't get sleepy behind the wheel.
