Hello, I would like to know what the Doctors think of my husband's night breathing. I lay awake worried about him all the time. Last night I actually really listened to him and I counted 4 breaths, then nothing for up to 25 seconds, then he resumed again for another 4-6 breaths then none for a further 16-20 seconds and this went on for hours. I cannot imagine this is normal.What do you think? Is this what they call Sleep Apnoea? Is it dangerous? He is 47, and a smoker. I can remember hearing him do this before, but have never really "listened" to the rhythm before.
Look forward to your reply.
