 Most likely it is secondary polycythemia... caused by sleep apnea??
If you've been on CPAP for 6 months and your doctor says you're doing fine then no.

Course with all those symptoms it's pretty clear in my mind that things are nowhere near fine.
Freeze this moment a little bit longer.
Make each sensation a little bit stronger.
Experience slips away.

 In your lab work, do you have an -HCO3 or Total CO2 Content?
