    Ok, as you all know, I went and got diagnosed with sleep apnea. Anyways, I went and got my own CPAP and was using it for 3 days. Suddenly, my DME called and said they needed the machine back. My insurance suddenly got cancelled somehow. I had medicaid and they said I had unreported earnings. I guess they got ahold of my tax return somehow. Anyways I had to give the CPAP back. I don't have the money to buy one. I have the opportunity to go to a school next month. The thing is, can I go somewhere and get a physical and not tell them I have sleep apnea? I know a place that will give me a 2 year card. The thing is, I will buy a CPAP once I get hired on with a company. Can companies look at your medical records before they hire you? I'm once again, between a rock and a hard place. I thank you all for your advice though. I did troll before, but was just joking. I am dead serious now.

    You just broke the cardinal rule of trolling.... never admit your a troll....

    Honestly no idea tho. All they can see is your long fourm medical card. I would imagine apnea is listed on there.

    Also you may want to make a few phone calls. Insurence companies don't just disappear.....

    Trolls stick around forever tho.... much like yourself

    Mine did, it was medicaid and they said I was over the income bracket or something. If I check no on the long form when it asks about sleep apnea, what would happen?

    Lying on your physical can come back and bite you on the posterior. I think there is a legit organization out there that helps people get tested provides a cpap or helps to buy one. Do some googling and research.
