[QUOTE="witzend, post: 102069, member: 99"] The only way to tell for sure is to have him take a sleep study. They will hook him up and measure him for the number of times and length of time he stops breathing at night. husband has done it twice. He only stopped breathing 24 times, and to officially be apneac, you have to have 30. I could be wrong on the numbers, as it has been a while. But he did have enough episodes that I found it to be alarming, but the pro's found it to be "borderline". He did have his deviated septum corrected, and that did not fix it. He asked for a C-PAP machine, but they said that the results weren't bad enough, so he is now on his way back to the ENT surgeon to have his soft palate hardened so that at least I can get some sleep. I will tell you that it does not matter how much or how little he sleeps, he's exhausted. I was really hoping that he would get the C-PAP, but maybe the surgery will help him, too. [/QUOTE]
