What is sleep apnea

I have heard of sleep apnea but is it just snoring and different things like stop breathing and gasping for air at night my grandma told me that I snore and I also had tests done to check and see if I had sleep apnea ( mind you that I was kicked out of...

my own hotel room because one of my room mates couldnt get any sleep so is there something wrong with me???

the definition of APNEA is - a period of not breathing.
the snoring while you sleep is something else entirely- you could consult a physician about it and possibly get it taken care of. snoring sounds usually indicate something is wrong with your upper airway, a physician in a clinic would be able to identify what is happening in your case and what to do about it.

if you were suffering from sleep apnea you wouldn't be snoring at all because you would not be breathing intermittantly through the night.
