Hi there! I am starting to get worried about my husband. We are both young (24) but I think he has Sleep Apnea. I'm a nurse and have had many patients with this and I hate to see him suffer like this. He is overweight and i know that increases his risk for it. He usually snores really loud, especially when he has a cold or sinus infection, and yet does better sleeping on his side. The worst thing is that in the last year or so he has woken at least 9-10 times choking, gasping and with severe heartburn causing him to vomit profusely for at least thirty minutes. He is then wiped out the next day. It always is when he's been snoring really bad again for awhile. I have been unable to get any sleep lately because I worry about him and have to keep making him turn back on his side all night long. He is normally very healthy and is never sick otherwise.

I have read about a few things to help, like losing weight, avoiding caffeine near bedtime, elevating your head 6", exercises for the mouth and throat and of course losing weight but I didn't know if any of you all would have any more advice? We dont have insurance right now and can't afford to go to a doctor right now. Any advice is welcomed!
