Yes, I have: It sounds like you need at least 3 doctors -- a primary care one, a psychiatrist, and a psychologist -- all working together with you on your problems. Using stimulants could possibly explain the hypertension. But if' you're not doing that, i'm sure your primary care doctor will be tracking down other possible causes. Ptsd can cause intense anxiety, but not usually sustained hypertension.

Your doctor can share with you ways to decrease your blood pressure and reduce your sleep apnea your doctor can help you with lifestyle changes to improve your health. Also ask about support and treatment for your ptsd and erectile dysfunction.
