PLEASE! Get help now!

I ran across an interesting article when I did a Google search for "stop breathing during sleep".

Check it out here - Family Doctor Article on Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is a breathing-related disorder characterized by a person literally stopping their breathing in the middle of the night. This can happen up to 400 times a night and could last a duration of up to 2 minutes per occurrence.

This is seriously scary as hell!

If you snore, think you snore, your partner complains about your snoring, or if you always feel tired during the day, seek help immediately! You could die from this as sleep apnea increases the risk of stroke, heart attack or death due to falling asleep while doing something important, like driving or operating a piece of machinery.
