He may suffer from sleep apnea.  First see if his health insurance would cover an overnight stay in the hospital to see if he suffers from that, if so get him in to get tested.  Alot of people middle aged to older aged individuals who are overweight and snore suffer from sleep apnea, which is the lack of air when sleeping.  So, he is actually not getting a restful nights sleep and may feel tired during the day.  If they do find out he has that, they will have him sleep with a breathing machine to help him get a GOOD RESTFUL night's sleep WITHOUT snoring!  ALOT of people suffer from this!

my husband does snore and it seems to have gotten worse over the last year. I had him go to the Dr. for a physical and  the Dr. referred him to a sleep lab where they do whats called a sleep study. Turns out my husband has sleep apnea( this is where he actually stops breathing many times a night) scarey huh? He is going back to the sleep lab in May for another study this time they will be using a special type of breathing mask to see if it helps keep the airway from collapsing while he sleeps.

Yogurt is supposed to help. Maybe drink some water, or eat some crackers. I know you said it's not hunger, but it might absorb the stomach acids and stuff and stop the gurgling.

Call the hospital, darling. There could be something wrong with your father. And try to get him to stop drinking and smoking, that's probably what's effecting his heart. But you do need to call the doctor, NOW, if he's complaining of severe chest pains. Good Luck!

It may just be a phase he's going thru.  Just don't make a big deal out of it and maybe he will stop.  If not, then maybe his hearing is sensative.  Take him to a specialist.  Hope that helps you.

I don't understand how you want people from all over the world to help your father? I really don't think that doctors sit on Yahoo giving out free medical advice, either. Nurses do though. I'll pray for your father. I'm sorry but that is all I can do for him. GOD BLESS YOU AND HIM!

My thoughts are with you and your Dad.  So many times I have heard about this problem.  Men of any age find it difficult to talk about health problems - especially those "below the belt".  A starting point for you may be to contact a support group.  You can share your worries with others who have faced the same problem and can find out more about the problem and the treatment that your Dad is receiving.  They are there to listen and support not only your Dad but you too.  At any age - he is still your Dad and you will always love him and worry about him.  Take care of yourself .... and your Dad too. \n\nI understand all you are feeling - my Dad too had prostate cancer.  I found lots of support from our local prostate cancer charity (listed below) and now have joined them and offer support to others who may need it

You may have to visit a doctor, sometimes snoring loudly is a sign of something else going on in the nose or throat. You probably stop breathing sometimes too. The doctor will fix your problem.

You need to talk to your doctor!\n\nIf your snoring is that severe, you may have a condition known as sleep apnea.  The snoring sound could actually be you "choking" on your tongue and/or gasping for breath.  This is something that only a doctor can determine and that only a doctor can halp you with.

Yes, narcolepsy.  I'm not sure I spelled it right either, but I personal experience.  When you also mentioned driving I went  AH HUH!!!  Yep, you have what has been named over the years as "sleeping disease".  When you drive, watch TV, read, anything that relaxes your mind you go unconscious, but your eyes are still open!  Tell your girlfriend that its un-natural and that you are NOT on drugs.  I know this for a fact that my dad has it.  My mother noticed it when he was driving she would be talking to him while he was driving down the road and would realize that he "wasn't even listening to her" she would get SOOOO mad, just like your girlfriend!  Then he went to the doctors and was tested.  There are medications and ways to counter-act what is happening in your brain.  And no you aren't  ignoring your girlfriend either.  Tell her its OK, not to make a big deal out of it, lighten up and that YOU MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DOCTOR! It has been known about for decades.  I am 50 years old and my dad was diagnosed while I was a kid!  So I DO KNOW about the condition.  Its more a brain way/condition than a disease.  You don't catch it, you pass it to anyone, its genetic, and show her my answer ok?  If she has any other questions about it she can e-mail me     faysdaze1@verizon.net

You should see your family physician number 1...but another thing you could be having Sleep Apnia...this is where you sort of "forget" to breathe during the night...there are medications for this...hope this helps!

I so know what you mean. Sleep deprivation in these circumstances can make a person feel homicidal. Seriously. Inadvertently, my ex's snoring led to the end of our marriage (a long story which I will not bore you with here but suffice to say there were other things going on too!). \n\nThere are non-prescription nasal sprays that you can buy for him to try. If this fails, tell him to haul himself down to his doctor as there are lots of things that can be done to alleviate his condition before surgery becomes necessary.\n\nGood luck!

It sounds like it's pretty much routine with him...schedule this naptime into your plans and know this is a given...stop letting it bother you and work with it.  Some people just need to nap, it's their body's way of functioning properly.  He could also be suffering from sleep apnea at night and is not getting a good night's sleep.  Allow him his nap time...and lovingly wake him up by kissing him or snuggling with him.  This is not the worst thing a wife has ever contended with...at least it's something that can be worked around.

It sounds like he could be narcoleptic.  You should get him to see a doctor to see if there are ways to control it.
