Strange noise when breathing?

Offcut profile image
27 Replies

I have not slept well for many years but my wife told me I am now making strange noises when I am asleep in bed.

She told me that I was breathing slowly and very deeply but at the end of each breath I made a noise "Like a thump on the floor" She thought our son's house rabbit was thumping in the night down stairs?

I know I am not feeling at all refreshed but I have put that down to my eldest son's problems? Any ideas it is a new one for me?

Hi Offcut I wonder if this could be Sleep Apnoea? There are a few in here who suffer from it and from what you have said it sounds like it could be. Maybe a visit to your doctor is in order? x

I have had a couple of tests for SA but at the time it did not show enough to justify action.

Trouble is I will need the wife to explain it as I have not heard it myself?

in reply toOffcut

Hi I know there are a number of people on here who have it and I am sure some of them will come in soon. x

Sounds like infection .. was reading could even be heart issues .. When I have been bad people have said my breathing as been bad noisy when I sleep.

Mines more a poping farting whistling sound

Would defo see your doc about it

I do have a number heart issues but they go all the way back to the 90's. The wife has woke me because she has put her hand on my back as I am breathing so shallow she thinks I have stopped breathing.

This was deep breathing with a thump?

in reply toOffcut

I would see doc .. but could be feeling anxious suffering anxiety given stuff you have going on BUT given ya conditions i would still see him

I have had a bout of restless legs when in bed lately? I do get the gasping for breath but not on a regular basis which is why they cannot keep testing me.

The only thing that is constant I wake on an 60-90 minute cycle though the night, 3 hours is a good nights sleep for me. Even with Zopeclone.

in reply toOffcut

That's why you are so tired and unrefreshed as the deep sleep which we all need doesn't kick in til about 4 hours in. x

Never heard of that ,Offcut. Are you sleeping with your mouth open? Do you feel well rested when you wake up? I would definitely get it checked out.

I have not felt well rested for years. Most of my sleep problems go back to 2008 when I had a long stay in ICU.

That's a strange one offcut, probably worth getting checked out. x

I cannot tell them what is happening as I do not hear it when it happens. The wife now wakes to make sure I am breathing so her sleep is getting broken now as well!

Why not record the sound, and then you and your GP can listen to it. Take care x

Excellent idea! I think you summed it up well Dedalus.

Then Offcut can hear it himself.

Also the GP. Wouldn't mind hearing it myself!

You should have her record it so you can hear it and also can play it for the doctor. If you have a smart phone it should have the capability to record.

That sounds like a good plan it may not be so easy to do when the wife is half asleep ;)

That may depend on which half is asleep. :-)

Hi Offcut go and see your GP he can do a ECG on you it could be SA and you will feel unwell with SA because you are constantly waking up hope you get it sorted soon

If you have an iPhone you can get an app called sleep talk... Set it to record through the night as it is sound activated.
