Sleep Apnea
Does anyone have it? Or is married to someone who has it?
Just a little curious about my DH. He has recently started snoring about 50% of the time...he NEVER snored before. I think it's because he has gained baby weight right along with me : ) and everything I have read about snoring solutions says that weight is the major player. (I can't sleep through his snoring...I sleep very lightly and I am just not used to it at all)
He is also a nose breather...and sometimes has allergies or whatever so his head is a little stuffed. Well this causes him to try breathing out of his nose, but can't so he gasps for breath out of his mouth. This isn't all the time...but it's still enough to make me wonder is this is sleep apnea.
We just put a humidifier in the bedroom to try to help keep him breathing better. I have started to call him Walter (after Meg Ryan's bf in Sleepless in Seattle...haha!!) He's not a fan. But the poor guy had to sleep on the couch the other night because he just wouldn't stop and I couldn't sleep at all!!
Could he have apnea issues?...or does it just sound like chubby guy snoring issues?
Re: Sleep Apnea
I may make him go see someone about it...but we're both plan on getting healthy after baby#2 arrives so I'm hoping the issue sort of resolves itself. He's only gained maybe 30lbs...but I think it put him over the snoring weight limit or something.
But man, if I was having issues breathing in daily life...I would hope someone yelled at me to lose weight!!! Although - don't talk to me after climbing two flights of stairs!! : )
Snoring doesn't always mean sleep apnea. Does he have other symptoms as well, like being tired all the time like battybtags mentioned above? Sleep apnea is when the person actually stops breathing repeatedly during their sleep - not just snoring or being overweight.
You can be tested for it, if you're really concerned, but it never hurts to lose a little weight if that might be what's contributing to the snoring.
