my step dad has the exact same thing he actually stops breathing sometimes and he snores the roof off the house my mum has actually put him in a seperate room due to the snoring thats how loud he is..

the dr referred him to do a sleep apneia i think thats how you spell it and its where the hook them up to machines and stuff and monitor him over night with ppl constantly checking him.. the specialist will then give him some alternatives to help him and you get a good night sleep..
Sounds like DP, honestly when ppl come to stay they comment on how on earth i can sleep in the same bed as him.. you can hear him upstairs snoring when your downstairs watching TV.. it's like a mak truck in the house.
I seriously need him to get checked but he wont.
