PTSD and Physical Health

I don't think this one is just me:
When I am suffering from issues with my PTSD, I ignore signs that I am having problems with my physical health.  I just went to the doctor today and they are sending me for a sleep study - they are concerned that I have severe sleep apnea because of oversized tonsils and a deviated septum.  So even when I am able to go to sleep regularly, I haven't been getting a 'good night sleep'.  I asked the doc whether the lack of quality sleep could exacerbate PTSD.  He said that not getting quality sleep would affect anyone - it would just affect someone with PTSD worse.

Being under a lot of stress weakens the immune system and makes allergic reactions worse.  The docs need me to get a baseline allergy testing panel done.  I may have to get allergy shots and carry a epipen.  If this happens, then I won't have to worry about respiratory issues as much.  That will put my body under a lot less stress.

I'm 33 years old.  I have a 17 month old daughter.  I have a lot to live for.  I also have a lot to figure out and work out to ensure that my health doesn't keep me from being the man I want to be.  So do yourselves a favor.  Get checked out my doctors on a regular basis.  Don't blow it off.  Keep an eye on your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc).  Don't ignore the physical warning signs like I did.  Stay healthy for your own piece of mind.  It's one less thing to worry about, long term.
