I've rarely needed to see a GP in the 20years that I've been registered with this practice, but a severe sleeping disorder has been completely dismissed as nothing unusual. (I'm 60 years old). The GP's seem to believe that a good nights sleep is a luxury and not a necessity. No feedback was given in a sleep apnoea test, and instead I was treated as if I have depression. I don't. I'm simply very sleep deprived. I cannot work, nor lead a normal life. I wanted to show my activity tracked sleep but the GP said she wasn't interested. Instead I was treated for a migraine (which I didn't have) and high blood pressure. I am so disappointed that for the first time when I need help, there is nothing forthcoming.
