Thank you for all of the input... I went to my doctors and he is going to push to get me on CPAP asap when i was at the doctors my BP was 114/90 which is pretty good my pulse was way high though when i got there it was 144 when i left it was 90 and throughout the day it usually stays around 90... When I stand up my pulse and BP rise and when I have a panic attack they rise, sometimes being around 155/107 mark then when I lay down and breathe it drops down to 135/85 or somewhere int hat zone...

So I dont know if this anxiety, sleep apnea or a heart condition but this is really bothering me now.

Your description clearly indicate the OSA is your PRIMARY problem.

Getting CPAP asap should be your first priority. It's not difficult at all to buy a decent machine from craigslist and wait for your prescription to go through the system.

BTW: your dad need CPAP too. OSA is linked to airway anatomy and hence highly heritable
