A member asked:
If you have apnea, do you snort while sleeping in a sitting position?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep apnea: If you snore in the seated position, likely your sleep apnea is severe. Some people figure out that they sleep slightly better by sitting up but this will fail over time. If you are having that symptom you need to see your physician.
