I had septum straightened now the roof of my mouth vibrates and my snoring increases my breathing isn’t great sleeping what happened?

and she is snoring. About a year ago when this started, I asked my wife to wear ear-plugs, as she complained about my constant snoring keeping her up. I decided enough is enough, after not sleeping together for over a year and our sex life suffering, I went in for a sleep test and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Now I use one of those CPAP masks. Its hard to get used to and I still have some nights where it bothers me.

Problem is since she has gained weight, after having two babies, now she snores and its loud. I wake her up and she gets soo frustruated. I think its very unfair. I’ve asked her to get it under control and she ignores me.

My bulldog snores when he sleeps just like all other bullies so i can obviously hear him breathing. Once in awhile the snoring will stop and he starts to twitch and looks like he’s running in his sleep. this sometimes goes on for about 20-30 seconds. i can tell he’s not breathing because i can’t here it. so i give him a little nudge and he gets a little startled, pops out of it, and starts breathing again. Anything wrong with my lil man?

My husband has sleep apnea…very badly. His snoring is out of this world LOUD. He’s seen a sleep doctor and has a breathing machine he must wear at night. I know this is uncomfortable for him to wear and a lot of times he doesn’t. So, I’m listening to him snore and getting mad at him for my loss of sleep! Now, I feel really bad for him that he has this condition and has to wear the mask at night. But when he doesn’t wear it he hacks and coughs for hours after he wakes up. It’s not completely selfish of me because I hate to see him suffering like that in the morning. I just am at my wits end. I feel like I’m being mean and nagging when I ask him to wear it and when he doesn’t I ask him to sleep in the other room. What should I do???

I am diagnosed having sleep apnea and still undergoing treatment. I have to take public transport daily for the 62 mile trip to work (or 90 minutes travel time). As the bus or train leaves the station at 5am, most passengers take time to sleep during the trip. With my loud snoring should I suddenly fall asleep, people get mad and I get so embarrased. Listening to music and watching DVD movies through my portable players can’t keep me away from falling asleep too.

Over the counter, nonprescription product please. Can not mix with Coumadin. I’m trying to find something other than the Breath Right strip for my husband before I put a pillow over his head. Even if I go to bed before him, his snoring wakes me up. I don’t want him to always sleep in another room. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
-to use for now until he gets the CPAP machine….

I recently began treatment for sleep apnea with a custom-fitted oral appliance – a mouth piece that I wear at night to pull my jaw forward. This has done an excellent job in preventing snoring, but has altered my bite. My dentist was very concerned by this, but the doctor that fitted the device (also a dentist) indicated that a change in bite is not serious – nothing more than an annoyance. The change in bite does not bother me, but I am afraid it will cause damage to my teeth down the road. Is this something that I should be concerened about? Do I need to get the bite corrected? I’m kind of in a bad situation where I have to choose between the effective treatment for sleep apnea, and the bite problem.

my 2 month old snores during sleep. it sounds like a congested raspy snore. almost like she has lots of mucus in her chest. i ased her doctor and she said she was fine. but i looked up snoring on line and found that snoring is the #1 symptom for sleep apnea which could be deadly. do any of you have babies that snore and this is perfectly fine? or are familiar with sleep apnea and have any advice?

my boyfriend told me that he thinks he may have sleep apnea. he snores so incredibly horribly and always has. he literally sounds like a dying animal or bear. sometimes i have caught him stop breathing for like 10 to 15 seconds, maybe more. i have actually woken him up in a panic a couple times because the amount of time he stopped breathing worried me. anyways ive been sleeping with him for about 2 and a half years and just recently his snoring seems to be getting progressively worse. he does not have insurance so cannot afford to go to the doctor or get a sleep test done. is there anything we can get for him (that doesnt involve seeing a doctor at this point in time) to help the snoring go away and his breathing get better? anybody ever use those retainers? if so, how did they work for you/significant other? anything else?? any suggestions would be great. i literally cannot sleep with him at all anymore, he keeps me up and wakes me up and honestly worries me.

He was a smoker for a very very long time before I was born, and he had a terrible snoring problem. soo could it be inherited. I’ve only had sleep apnea twice my whole life and it started this year, I’m not overweight. And I’m 16

My boyfriend suffers with a condition called sleep apnea, where he temporarily stops breathing at night. This happens constantly throughout the night, where he will just stop breathing and then after several seconds will take a huge gasp of air, start snoring and then stop breathing again.

I have read that this can be a very dangerous and serious condition and am worried about him. I know there are some recommended devices out there, but does anyone have actual experience with this? I’d love to hear from you if so, and what you have found to be the most helpful. Thanks.

I think my son may possibly have this condition. He is 8 months old and I haven’t slept hardly at all in nearly a week! These are the symptoms I pulled off a website that are also associated with snoring;
~failure to thrive (weight loss or poor weight gain)
~mouth breathing
~enlarged tonsils and adenoids
~problems sleeping and restless sleep
~excessive daytime sleepiness
~daytime cognitive and behavior problems, including problems paying attention, aggressive behavior and hyperactivity, which can lead to problems at school

I’ve noticed these sypmptoms:
~snoring
~mouth breathing
~problems sleeping and restless sleep
~problems paying attention and hyperactivity.
he may have enlarged tonsils because I have them if they are hereditarily linked.

Any advice on how I could get some rest would be great too! Tried everything so far including diaper change, feeding till hes full, rocking him…etc… Do you think this condition may be whats wrong with my son?

I am a freshmen in college and share a dorm room and I think my roommate might have sleep apnea. First of all he snores loud. Secondly, he falls asleep very quickly, I think I read somewhere that this was a symptom but I’m not sure. He also has very strange sleeping habits. Sometimes he will go to bed at 9:00 at night and other times he will not go to sleep until 3:00 in the morning. The same goes with waking up. Some days he will wake up at 4:30 in the morning and some days he wont wake up until after lunchtime. He also seems to take lots of naps.

When he is snoring, sometimes he makes odd noises like he is chocking on something. He is also Hispanic and overweight but I’m not sure if this has anything to do with sleep apnea.

I can’t really hear his breathing exactly because I sleep with earplugs in to drown out the snoring so I can’t tell if he stops breathing in the middle of the night but Im pretty sure the choking noises (occurring 1-2 times per night) is a symptom. Do you think he has sleep apnea?

I have heard that snoring is an indicator of sleep apnea. It seems there are no cheap treatments for this but I came accross the aveoTSD at www.aveosleep.ca – has anyone used this?

I have the symptoms and have made audiotapes of my gasping/snoring.

Yet some nights I don’t gasp or snore much. I don’t smoke, drink, or sleep on my back.

My husband snores really loud, enough so that eight months ago, he started sleeping on the couch and went to the doctor where he underwent a sleep study to find that he had severe sleep apnea. Now, he refuses to use the c-pap machine because he says it makes him feel like he’s suffocating. There’s nothing wrong with the machine and he’s tried different masks. He refuses to even try to get use to it. He wants to sleep in the same bed with me again but I can’t handle the snoring and think that a better solution would be for me to move into the guest room. He says it’s ridiculous for us to have separate bedrooms. I don’t see a problem with it and frankly, if he felt that strongly about it, he’d get used to the c-pap machine. We’ve already been sleeping separately for eight months so why’s he bent out of shape about sleeping in the bedroom while I sleep in the guest room? Can anyone help me understand this?
We are still intimate – sleeping separately hasn’t changed our sex drive. So is perceived intimacy that much more important than a good night’s sleep? I’m sure after a couple of weeks being up all night because of his snoring, I’ll be the "cheerful" person he wants to be intimate with. I think I’m being realistic with this.
I can’t use earplugs because I have to listen for my kids. I have a toddler and an infant. I can’t take the chance of not hearing them at night.

And second, who said I wasn’t supportive? If anything, it’s him who doesn’t want to deal with it. I’ve supported him plenty but ultimately the best support in the world isn’t going to help someone that doesn’t want to help themselves. No need for hateful remarks.
Same goes for medication. I can’t take sleeping pills (I really shouldn’t feel that I have to anyway; I don’t have sleeping problems) because I don’t want to be drugged up in the middle of the night when my baby starts crying.

I’m sure I have sleep apnea, and my snoring is really loud and terrible. But I’m afraid to go through with the sleep study, because I have some sort of fear that I’ll stop breathing and suffocate. Please advise and thanks!

It actually takes a full effort to reproduce the horrible sound I make in my sleep. And i hate myself for it. It’s such a terrible problem to have, and there is nothing I can do!

What causes really bad snoring, and is there anything I can do to help it?

I have been "diagnosed" if you will with Sleep Apnea if that’s how it’s spelled. They gave me a whole machine and mask to blow air down my throat. And that works fine and dandy… but I can’t quite drag that thing with me where ever I go. When I pass out under a dining room table, the first thing nearby friends sense in their terrible awakening is the horrible sound I’m broadcasting through the house.

Aww man it’s terrible. And I want to know what practical solutions I can use to fix it.

Ok I went to sleep studies and got put on a CPAP machine although I think I isn't really warranted because my apnea was not that bad, number-wise. So I am on this machine for a while now and my mask id the one that goes into my nostrils because I have a beard and the one that covers the nose leaks air and wakes me up. Well Lately the mask I am wearing makes my nostrils feel like they are on fire when I breathe in and the only relief is to take it off. But in doing this my wife of course is woken up and has a bad nights sleep after that. Is there a solid solution to snoring that does not include a CPAP machine? I don't feel any more refreshed in the morning with or without the machine. I am not really over weight but when I was thinner I didn't snore as much. I just need solutions so I don't drive my wife crazy again with the snoring!

My husband has gained weight and sleeps on his back, would that have anything to do with the snoring?

My boyfriend is only 20 and his snoring is awful most nights. It keeps me awake and is frustrating. I know their are surgeries out there to fix it, and some say exercise helps. The nose strips and sprays do not work because it is coming from his throat, not his nose. He believes he has sleep apnea, but we do not have the money to test for this. Anyone else experience this and can reccomend a solution thayt worked for them?
Sometimes not sleeping on his back works, but when it is really bad snoring, sleeping on his sides does not help at all still.
Sorry, one more thing. I have considred ear plugs, but I have to hear the alarm to get up. An alarm rarely wakes him up, I have to wake him up usually.

I had septoplasty they think I have scarring that is now causing sleep apnea how is that possible my roof of my mouth vibrates and my snoring increased after the septoplasty. What happened? He is doing a sleep study but cant you tell some other way?
Is this a sign of a bad surgeon? Move septum vibrates too and the roof of mouth only when I sleep? Im not fat it was the surgery
