Could I take results from a pulse ox to a random urgent care clinic doctor and get an RX for an APAP? That I don't know. My guess is, probably not. I do know that, when I had my in-clinic sleep study, the technician showed me how my blood oxygen levels were rising and falling. Rhythmically, corresponding to every breath I took. If you see the oxygen desaturation for yourself, maybe that's what will convince you to at least do an in-home study. I will never do another in-clinic study again. I fucking hated it, tons of straps and wires all over. I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. So, as Bill Clinton might say: "I feel your pain". And they did give me a sleeping pill in the middle of the night to calm me down (another issue of yours). But that was over 10 years ago, I don't think that in-home studies were popular at that time.
