Question by :]: Should I go to the doctor to see about snoring/sleep apnea?
I’m fifteen years old and my friends tell me I sleep really weird.. I stop snoring for like 3 minutes then I start doing this whistling thing and this goes on all night long. I have super bad sinuses so could it be sleep apnea? What can doctors do if it is sleep apnea?
Oh, and after three minutes, I gasp for air they say. My family even notices.

Go to your doctor and see about a referral to a sleep clinic. They hook you up to a whole bunch of wires that monitor you as you sleep. Afterwards, they may suggest a c-pap machine which consists of a mask that you wear to bed and it forces oxygen into your lungs while you sleep. Also, if you quit breathing at night while you are sleeping, not good – that is what the c-pap machine is for.
Ask your parents to schedule you an appt and go and talk to the doctor!!
Good luck!

Question by Trix_R_not_4_kids: What should I do about my bad snoring?
I have really bad snoring and I don’t know what to do. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel bad because I can tell my husband didn’t get enough sleep the night before because of it. A few nights ago, it was so loud that it actually woke me up. It sounds funny, but I can’t believe it’s SOOO loud. What should I do?

Breathe right strips and other otc snore aids. If you are overweight check and make sure you dont have sleep apnea. You may need to sleep with CPAP. Do you wake up at night frequently? Tired often? Overweight? Get checked for sleep apnea.

Question by Jackie: What can I do about my snoring husband?
I’m losing my mind here! lol 
Well, I also have a 10 month old baby who still sometimes gets up at night, so it’s been over a year since I’ve had a total night’s worth of sleep. My husband’s snoring is really unbelievable, I mean, the sound makes the mattress vibrate, oh gosh, I’m so tired and so sleepy and don’t know what to do anymore, any tips?

Tell your husband to get checked for sleep apnea. If I were you I would hit the couch for a night or two…

Question by Read My ?Lips?: What can I do about my husbands snoring?
I can’t sleep with his loud snoring and nothing helps, short of him sleeping in another room. We’ve tried the nasal strips and the SnoreStop with no success… Other than surgery, what else can we do?

He needs a sleep study done to determine if he has sleep apnea. If so, they can give him a CPAP machine to help out.
