Not to sound like a nervous type, but I had surgery for sleep apnea. Used to snore like that. I got a little scared when I read people with sleep apnea have a 30% higher risk of stroke and heart attack. Now I push people that snore and stop breathing like that to see a doctor ASAP and ask for a sleep study. It has made a world of difference for me. My Dad also had surgery and my brother is on a CPAP machine. The changes were significant (less fatigue, more upbeat, more energy).
