What did you do?

Well ... all my nagging didn't do a thing

One night he thought he was having a heart attack .. turned out to be just gas though

Anyhow .. it scared him enough to get a check up .. where he found out that he had REALLY high blood pressure

The doctor said he needed a new diet, more rest .. and pills

He could do all the above except the rest part ... he snored so bad that he would stop breathing and wasn't getting a good night sleep

When he did that .. I use to bounce the bed to jump start his breathing

Anyhow .. got side tracked

Well the doc sent him to a sleep study thingy .. where he failed BIG TIME ... he stopped breathing like every minute

Soooooo his choices to fix the problem was to sleep with an oxygen mask or have laser surgery on his throat

He went for the surgery.

The first week was rough and he lost 20 pounds .. but after a few weeks he was better ..and now he sleeps all night and doesn't stop breathing anymore

I don't think my hubby has those problems, I know his bp is normal, his sis is an RN and always checks us out. I'm thinking of 'breath right' stripes or something like that. He might have algeries that he doesn't know of, but it's only at night..... I don't know, but his mom has the same problem, and she's been married almost 50 years!
