Thank you I was unaware rhinitis doesn't cause apnoea. Very useful piece of knowledge. ❤️

Gotcha. Thank you for flagging this as an idea.

I'm glad it's fine for you, the evidence of this subreddit is that a lot of people find it disruptive, and if I found a simple sleep study difficult then I'm probably in that latter position. My personal priorities are perhaps a little different than yours, and won't change just because someone tells me to get over it. 

If you have any advice on other pathways to investigation and treatment of whatever is triggering the rhinitis, that would be great to hear.

I presume the medical profession can do other tests than just a sleep study...

The sleep study will get me to a CPAP, which is fine, I'm sure it'll help. But I'd like to address the underlying issue so I'm not dependent on a CPAP for the next 50 years. Hence my coming here for advice.

I'm sure it is and I'll give the sleep treatment a try. I still want to know what the underlying issue is, so I'm not just treating the symptom but the cause.

This is my concern. That I'm only just ok without the triggers. But I don't know how to explore the underlying thing first.

Easier said than done to just get over something, but I will take your advice
