Snoring?

[jenr]

Hubby snores really loud thats why we have separate rooms but lately his snoring has got louder and the last couple of weeks I hear him choking when he is asleep. He said a couple of times he has sat up in a panic?
He has sleep apnea he has a machine with a mask but he cant/wont wear it he said it is claustrophobic.
Do you think he could seriously choke in his sleep?
( without any help from me :D)

[Melinda]

i think you need to speak to the doctor, but i cant say i have heard of anyone choking in their sleep....

i heard on the weekend its the number one complaint woman have against their DH's

[Mad Old Cow]

Jen i have heard of people making that choking noise in their sleep but i think that is the sleep apnea?
Have to say if my DH was making choking noises i would never think to try to wake him incase i frightened him ;)
I do hear DH snoring when i leave my bedroom door open but again i think Margot is as bad as he is & she sleeps beside me on the floor which is better then in my ear snoring.

[Cackle]

I'd g to the Dr as well. I have heard of people swallowing their tongue while snoring.

[sandydee]

:yes: I would go to the Doc as well....but am guessing they would suggest he be wearing his mask:yes: as he is meant to be.
It is a scary feeling when you wake up choking.

[Stormy]

There are CPAP masks which only fit over the nose that are good for people who are claustrophobic or won't wear the full mouth mask. The build up of carbon dioxide usually wakes them up, hence the choking sound. But if he isn't getting quality night time sleep, he'll have increases day time sleepiness which increases his risk of having a crash if he gets behind the wheel.

The issue with sleep apnea is that the brain literally forgets to breath. If he doesn't wear his mask, then his brain will - at some point - not reinitiate the involuntary breathing cycle & he could die.

Or, how about he is cut off from oxygen to the point were he becomes brain damaged?!

Also, sleep apnea doesn't promote REM sleep - which can lead to him falling asleep after becoming completely sleep deprived. Driving whilst sleep deprived is worse than driving drunk. So instead of killing himself, he could kill someone else.

[jenr]

I have just spoken to him about the choking he had a endoscopy just recently and it showed that his trachea is not functioning properly? His epliglottis seems to be weak and not doing its job properly. I think thats what it showed??
I can remember the doc saying to him lose some weight would help :)
Stormy he finds with the masks he is throwing them off through the night?

[Cherie]

My dad had it before we knew what it was.
As kids we would watch him and see how long he could hold his breath for.:D
He didn't die from it . Mum said she used to kick him a tad to get him to wake up from that heavy sleep.:D I suspect she liked that bit...
My eldest brother has it as well, he wears a mask.

[SocialGirl]

Would it help if he raised his pillow and slept more in an upright position :blink:

[Cackle]

Mum said she used to kick him a tad to get him to wake up from that heavy sleep

LOL did that to my hubby once when he was snoring. Thing is we had a water bed and there was a bit of momentum and I rolled him fair out of bed and onto the floor. I pretended to be asleep and he sat up saying "Geeze I fell out of bed". Never did tell him. LOL

[SocialGirl]

:haha: Cackle, i take it you no longer have a water-bed:D

[Cackle]

No we don't but that happened years ago and I only got rid of the water bed a few weeks ago. I was getting shocks off it LOL

[jenr]

In the early days hubby would complain of a sore back in the mornings maybe I punched a bit hard a couple of times LMAO

[Cackle]

LOL Maybe you did. I got really angry through the night when I couldn't sleep. I really so love having my own room these days

[jenr]

Me to Cackle its the best thing we ever did:yes:

[Mad Old Cow]

[jenr]

Oh I am leaving this alone LMAO

[Cackle]

[redrobyn]

My hubby and I sleep in a queensize bed I have a good bed in the other room but if it's him or me sick or he snores too much no matter.. why is it me that goes in to the other bedroom to sleep I've got out of bed when I've been sick and gone into the other room so I won't disturb him..when he's sick it's still me that goes into the other bed..never him.

[Cackle]

That used to happen to me as well Red, they are so precious.........PFFFFFFFFFFTT

[jenr]

Now I have to clean my keyboard LOL

Okay well you know how you can spread your legs all over a Queen size bed & it feels so good to feel noone else near you ????? you don't feel like you have to whip your leg back so as not to disturb the person sleeping next to you ;)

Me too i try to have clean sheets twice a week & i do have a clean towel every day but really i use it twice because it does me evening & morning then in the wash but i am not a rich bith :hehe:

[SocialGirl]

With you girls, partic in summer i have mine changed three times a week - fresh and crispy. oh and i'm off colour... white white white..

[Mad Old Cow]

Oh i would love white white white but my Maggie is Black black & brindle LMAO it would mean i would have to change the sheets everyday if i saw more hair, i remember when we first got her i was changing sheets everyday & i did that for bloody months :roll:

[Cackle]

I only have white as well, don't like coloured bed linen, and I can't sleep in patterns, makes me have nightmares.

[Mad Old Cow]

I dont have pattern on my bed or hubbies but i do have them for the single because i just think it is cheery for the kids :D

[Cackle]

Oh yeah, my kiddies got colours :-)

[Leilani]

I like cream sheets , and we both snore haha, but not too bad either of us , have 3 sets on the go and the moment with it being winter

[SocialGirl]

I dont have pattern on my bed or hubbies but i do have them for the single because i just think it is cheery for the kids :D

Oh ja, same here.... besides my lot wont sleep on anything other than, Spiderman, Barbie and Snow White and heaven help if the sheets have been placed on the wrong bed.... oh my word, the drama is just not worth it :dk:

Same here with patterns....

[dizzy lizzy]

[Mad Old Cow]

Ooops :hehe: i best not say what i am thinking LMAO

[dizzy lizzy]

[Mad Old Cow]

oh gosh you are pushing me now.... every cupboard in your house ... Pegs....every weird electric thing possible but i did love that funny kettle that will do for now ;)

[Cherie]

I am one of the lucky ones. I have never heard my DH snore.. he breathes heavy occassionally.:D Very occassionally, but he never snores.:haha: I would hate to have separate beds.

[jenr]

You are lucky Cherie :yes:

[Mad Old Cow]

Funny how us oldies look at thing because i think i am extremely lucky that i have a Queen bed all to myself & yet my hubby is still under the same roof :) No way would i ever go back to sleeping with someone else in the bed

[jenr]

The only thing I will share my bed with is a little foxy called Lucy LMAO

[dizzy lizzy]

breathing heavy is good.

[Mad Old Cow]

breathing heavy is good.

In my house, breathing heavy could mean (go check hubby incase he is having a heart attack) LMAO

[Cherie]

LMAO, yes it usually means they are asleep..Usually.:hehe:

[SocialGirl]

i'm staying outta this one.... LMAO

[jenr]

Well heavy breathing from hubbys room would mean heart attack or he is trying to get out of bed LMAO

[SocialGirl]

LMAO Jen.... are you sure of tt now girlie :haha:

[jenr]

Yeh mate it takes some effort to get out that bed LMAO ( if I dont laugh I will cry)

[redrobyn]

I'd be worried if I couldn't hear hubby snore or breathe heavy I can see myself sleeping in another bed one day my parents til stepdad went into care slept in separate rooms for a long time mum still sleeps in the small bedroom.

[SocialGirl]

my parents slept in the same room on separate 3/4 beds for of what i can remember and then in the latters years when mum became sickly they moved to separate rooms. ja i would also move out if and when... got a sneaky feeling dh will probably do so before me tho :hehe:
