I would try the snore ring for DH except that would still leave the kicking and blood curdling yells.

Sleep apnoea isn't dangerous in itself but it leaves the sufferer incredibly tired due to constant broken sleep.

nanaej just watched that nhs clip, it was really helpful..Thank you very much...my son has to wear that machine..the Dr on the clip said in itself it is not life threatening--I think thats what he said--but my sons Doctor told him that it was..

Have you already seen this cheelu?

The danger seems to be from prolonged, untreated sleep apnoea causing other conditions.

My other son says that it is nonsense that the Doc has told my older son that he could die from the snoring due to him stoping breathing, I am not sure what to think...

Going to have my son speak to his doctoc to see if he can swap to the snor ring N but I think my sons snoring is more serious than normal snoring, at least this is what he has been told anyway THANK YOU very much for the info..

My brother in law, son in law and nephew all swear by the Snore Ring. Probably more accurate to say that their respective wives swear by it! It works on acu-pressure points apparently.....anyway, it works smile

That can contribute to sleep apnea.

No not over weight by lots maybe a stone and a bit, he is not fat though

jeni Sun 13-Jan-13 15:44:40

Is he overweight?

How bad can it get--my son has to have a special machine on when he sleeps at night because of his snoring....(his partner asked him to go to Docs to sort it out..
