I vote for Alamo Joe's advice. GET ANOTHER DOCTOR NOW!!!!! Your friend is obviously seeing a doctor who isn't taking his symptoms seriously. Maybe it is only allergies. If so and his doctor couldn't help him, he should have been referred to an allergy specialist. Failing that he should have been referred to a COMPETANT,CERTIFIED sleep doctor. Your friends doctor is doing him a great disservice and is displaying his incompetance.

A sleep clinic and sleep doctor who can only diagnose apnea and nothing else, can only prescribe a dental appliance and not cpap, and can not prescribe and medications sounds like a phony operation to me and should be reported to the authorities for investigation.

In short, GET ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!! REPLACE BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!
