No. I don't have a cardiologist or pumonologist...just my primary care doc who is a DO. I guess the heart monitor or the apnea thing I put on my finger for the night indicated low oxigen. I don't really know as my doc doesn't spend a lot of time with me. He has his medical assistant call me to tell me what to do next.

I don't know what your options are in your area or with your insurance, but as a nurse who has observed physicians for all my career, and now as a "patient" myself, I strongly recommend that if you feel "something is not right with your body" that you should find a physician that will listen! There is nothing more discouraging than a physician that "blows you off" with your concerns. There is nothing wrong with saying that you are "not compatible" with a certain doctor and ask for a different one. If you have insurance, the customer representative will often times help you find a doc that suits you!
