VA hospital and veterans affairs playing games(3 years now)?

VA hospital has been playing games with me for 3 years now. First said my blood pressure was high from moods, after 3 years since I EASd blood pressure is now at 180/105, I'm 30 and 5'4 120 pounds. I have been having sleep issues for 3 years sleeping 18 hours days, I lost two jobs and paid back the Gi Bill $2,440 for classes I dropped for my fatigue. I hit an IED and since then for 4 years issues got worst. i have contacted advocates, senator, switched clinics which was down the road. I swear they all converse. I had been told my sleeping issues were from transitioning, then depression, then asked if I was a vegetarian this could be why I am not getting serotonin then told a mental illness coming out I never new i had at age 30,(my favorite) then recently, I waited 3 years to get help and these issues why I have all these issues. should I contact office of inspector general? or pretty much just do nothing since the VA hospital and veterans affairs is a government organization and even my senator has written me 3 times saying he will do everything in my power but then, when I get a letter from the VA hospital director saying, thank you for bringing this to my attention and we have schedule test for him(me) . I wrote back thanks for scheduling test, but you never answered my question, how come this took 3 years to get test scheduled? and my senator said the same thing,t hank you for contacting me, I will do everything in my power.

I know there vets who have missing limb and much worse things then me, but ****, I am having mood issues and sleeping issues and how am I suppose to work or keep a job if I can't stay awake all day? the VA will say things like what I mentioned but wont let anything from being a Marine infantry man and hitting an IED have nothing to do with this.

Update:

I believe it, they want nothing to do with me, took 3 years to get on these 4 medications I'm on now. I feel like there waiting or hoping these last 2 years go by so they dont see me again. the 5 years health from military service. but there trying to say it's not mi8litary releated. so wondering if I dont get a hold of someone about this. there will be no records or why i didnt do this if i was having issues.

    Go to the ROI ( Release of Information ) office in your local ( or any ) VA Hospital and get a copy of all your medical records to date. Go to www.va.gov , there is a link on there I think on how to get your military medical records if you don't already have one. Have you talked to the patient advocate at the hospital ? They can intervene for you. If I were you I would file a claim for VA disability . If you do , be sure to get one of the service organizations to represent your claim or you may get the run around. I have used the Military Order Of The Purple Heart since Christ was a corporal and they have busted their butts for me. Sounds like you are dealing with a big city VA Hospital which I hear can be quiet unfeeling to say the least. Fortunately I use a smaller one here in Fayetteville, Ar. where the saying The Vet Comes First is actually the case. I wish I was able to be of more help to you. Welcome home and thanks for serving.
