My Boyfriend Tends To Hold His Breath In His Sleep. Is This Some Kind Of Sleep Disorder?

Sleep apnea. Can be central sleep apnea (from the brain) or obstructive sleep apnea (a mechanical problem). He should go to the doctor and ask to have a sleep study done, because the types of treatment are very different.

it’s called ’sleep apnia’ and while it usually isn’t serious it should be checked out. It can become a problem as he gets older.

that could be a bad thing. he could stop breathing or that could be a sign of a colapsed lung that he doesnt know about
