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 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.
I was just about to reply but then I heard this awful " popping, farting,whistling sound " !!! You do make me laugh D3NIS. I hope you don't take offence, as apparently I sound like a pregnant old sow,who is giving birth to triplets !!!
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.
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!
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.
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
