A member asked:
My father is 55 years, he was sleeping and suddenly he made weird very loud noises from mouth, looks like choking, anything serious why it happened?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe sleep apnea: If this occurs frequently, he should see his physician. Many middle-aged and older people, particularly if overweight, will have respiratory problems while sleeping, often associated with fatigue during the day.
