More details to this question:
My doctor failed to give me the report of my sleep study almost three years ago. I visited him a couple of weeks ago and he showed me the report. My oxygen level dropped to 85% at night and I was suppose to have been sent to get the cpap filtration study. He also never sent me the results of the 24 hour heart monitor test that I had done because I was having heart palpitations. I called about that test and he wasn't there but another doctor told the nurse and she told me it was normal and turns out that it wasn't normal. Do I have a case against him?

No you do not have a case because you never suffered any damages as a result of the doctors failure to tell you. Had you stopped breath during the night and died, then your family would have had a lawsuit but fortunately you did not die.
