Snoring

[Lucy-j-16]

This is a bit embarrassing. But my husband has noticed since my asthma has been really bad I've started snoring very loudly. I don't have tonsils so it can't be that, but he said sometimes it sounds like I stop breathing and it doesn't matter if I'm on my side or on my back. Has anyone else found this?

Yes I do the same. It's horrible! I know how you feel! My husband thinks it's really funny to tell everyone to!xx

[Lucy-j-16 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah my husband is currently telling everyone and telling everyone I need to go see someone about it! I could have killed him while we were out for dinner last night! Do you know why we might be snoring more?

[Hidden in reply to Lucy-j-16]

These men are all the same aren't they! No sorry I am not sure why it happens unfortunately! It's annoying though as I hate keeping my husband awake at night and I don't want to sleep separately either!xx

[Lucy-j-16 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah they really are. Well I will keep researching and if I come across anything I will let you know. No I don't want too either and I'm by sleeping well as I'm so many steroids. X

Thank you Lucy-j-16 . Is your asthma bad? Are you on a lot of medication? Good luck with finding a solutionxx

Could also be obstructive sleep apnea. Are you waking struggling to catch your breath? The only way to diagnose it is to have an SPO2 survey carried out during a nights sleep. Worth discussing with your GP

Oh boy do I snore. I now have my own bedroom. When i went to m daughters she got up in the night to shut the bedroom door as was keeping her awake she said she thought when i was quiet i had stopped breathing but no i was just gathering strength for the next blast cheers 🐆💤💤💤

I DID the same, I dont have my tonsils either but I do have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, see your Dr!

I'm a snorer and so is my son who has asthma (hence why on on this forum) and I make sure he has a minimum of pillow so that his airway is clearer and his chin is not on his chest but back as much as poss like giving cpr.

As for me the doctor said it's a symptom of being overweight (cheek) I know he right tho!! My husband tells everyone about my snoring and has a habit of filming me sleeping to show me how loud I can be.

It cannot be expressed when someone record that sound and made you listen...
