@avantgame I wasn't aware of it until I started being more and more exhausted, and my wife got concerned with my gasping and snoring.
He keeps gasping for breath and then going back to sleep. I assume one just lets this keep happening right? He must be aware of it?

@davehogg have you successfully treated it? Just trying to figure out what to say that would be helpful. -
@avantgame@davehogg The problem is it depends on the cause. They may need to lay on side/not back, may need to have a mouth guard, etc.

@avantgame Letting him know can't hurt. People w/ apnea aren't aware of gasping/waking. I had to be told by friends before I sought help.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame The CPAP devices we use to treat apnea can't be used on planes because there's usually no power outlet.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame he may not know... my grandfather had it and thought he was sleeping just fine -
