• Answer #1

  A person quits breathing while sleeping...Obesity can be a cause...as well as deviated septum (like from a broken nose)...People who have it snore a lot and very loud...and then suddenly will just stop breathing...My husband has it, and when he stops snoring is when I wake up...

  Apnea can harm the heart...it also makes the person who has it chronically tired, since they are missing out on much needed sleep...
