Hello
I managed to get a bit sunburnt yesterday
Apparently it can be normal to stop breathing for a very short period of time at night as our oxygen requirement is much lower but if it is longer than this or wakes you continually or you're overweight,have breathing problems,are diabetic or have other health problems then a GP will refer you to an ENT specialist who will do a sleep study on you.I only stop breathing for a few seconds so my GP says not to worry.
I don't know,no-one has ever noticed it before and GP says it gets worse as we get older (gee thanks ) I don't think stress affects it.If it did I'd probably be a gonner by now
