Sleep apnea: Your neighbor needs to see a physician who specializes in sleep medicine. A physician needs to diagnose Central/Idiopathic versus Obstructive sleep apnea. For obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type, a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine would help keep his airways open. A myriad of health problems can be caused by sleep apnea.

Cpap: The standard of care in severe OSA is cpap. There are other therapies and surgical treatments, but cpap is the gold standard.

Will something other than sleep apnea cause me to wake up at night gasping for air?
I am a chronic snorer to the extent that I wake my husband during the night and he goes off to the lounge to sleep. I often wake up very tired in the mornings. As I have got older my husband feels that I have developed sleep apnea.
Can't seem to sleep through the night. I wake to roll over then fall back asleep, esp. @ 5 & 7am. I don't wake gasping for air so no apnea, right? :-/
When I'm unwell with colds etc I wake up often during night feeling like I wasnt breathing. My oxygen levels are around 88% when I check and come up very quickly to 99% once awake. Perhaps sleep apnea? How can I make sure I don't die from this? Scary?
Is this sleep apnea? My partner said that my breathing stopped or was slow in the middle of night, but i don't snore and i didn't wake up.
