Steve, is this person you? A “typical” sleep apnea patient can usually tell if they are or not. You might be able to hide it from the rest of the world, but those closest to us can’t be so easily fooled. I also have sleep apnea and was 2 days away from enough carbon dioxide in me choking off the oxygen in me that it turned out that the c-pap machine I hated so much was the one thing that saved me. Ironic or what? Thank God I was in the hospital that night too. I then must believe that when it’s your time to go nothing will save you either. Too many ifs. Since your question really baffles me I leave it to you to reread and ask yourself How does someone without any symptoms even have a diagnosed condition of any disorder. An 18yr.old that has no symptoms even be given any diagnosis by any type Doctor? Not possible. Good luck and God Bless

How dangerous is it? I have noticed my husband stop breathing and then gasping for air along with snoring.
Please any personal experience would be very helpful.

My husband has gained weight and sleeps on his back, would that have anything to do with the snoring?

I’m talking about the big mask with the hose that looks like elephant man, lol.
