Oh I know and my doc has, indeed, suggested that I go in for a sleep study.
Perhaps one of these days, I might just get around to it....
In Utah, was all I could do to sleep hearing the gurgling machine of my father's cpap in the room next door!
I just figure, avoid sleep, avoid the problem, eh? Guido! Keeper of the Night!

You should go for a sleep study Guido, and see what they say...
Becks should too if the problem doesnt get better or gets worse... Its very important... Very...

Sleep apnea? It is a Cpap machine. At least it SHOULD be one if he has apnea. Runs in my family (and probably me).
Not so much an alarm but it forces air to avoid choking. You are right though. I probably should be using one but can't STAND sleeping on my back! Men, eh?

No Necro you have to stay!
Well I went back to the doctor about my night time cough/breathing problems. I now have a second inhaler, a spacer and a peak flow meter I have to use every time I use my inhalers, before and after. What a pain in the bum. I also have to record every reading I get for when I go back to the doc in a couple of weeks *sigh*
