Well Delta, you can spend a few grand for a one night sleep study. Then a grand for a breathing pulmonary test to check that. Then a grand for the ear, nose, and throat specialist to take xrays and check if your nostrils are clear or if surgery will help. Then check to see if your tonsils affect your breathing. Another grand with an allergist to look for allergies.
Or maybe you can find a doctor who will diagnose you without all those studies and tests and prescribe the cpap. They cost about $1500 to $2000 but they do a rent to buy on monthly payments usually but they may have wanted a third down or so. Insurance paid 80% of my monthly payments and the down payment. I quit using mine after a month but kept paying the 20% copay to keep the darn thing.
Call the health equipment places that sell those things and see who they recommend for a doctor who may not stick you with a bunch of unnecessary tests. Good luck.
If you can lay still and sleep then it will work for you. I am a side and stomach sleeper and have to roll over to each side a lot especially with the restless legs. Can't sleep on my back without laying awake till 4 am which was what happened during the month I tried the cpap. I haven't given up though, with this new nasal spray working, Omnaris, I can breathe through my nose with my mouth closed now. Maybe there is hope.
My wife had trouble sleeping and snoring. She went to a ENT doctor. He took xrays and said he could fix it with surgury. Before surgury he said he was going in to cut these nodules off in the upper part of the nostrils under the eyes and she also had a place on her septum that could use a scraping. He wanted to see if he could fix it by doing the nodules and not mess with the septum, the conservative approach he said. I told him with the price of surgery to do it all at once. The rest of the story is obvious. After the $6000 surgery, she still snores and has trouble breathing. Our share is 20%. There is no way we are going back to that bozo so he can rake in another 6 grand while we pay another 20%.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
