Sleep problems

My father in laws girlfriend suffers from sleep apnea. He doctor suggested she lose weight and when she did and her snoring didn’t get better she went to have her nose reconstructed. When that didn’t work she need to get a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Machine. She finds wearing it extremely embarrassing due to the look of it and the amount of noise it makes but if she wants for feel fresh, revived and live to see another day then she must use it. I have heard her say on several occasions that she was glad to have found something to help her sleep better even though it is not so attractive.
I often wish my husband felt that way. When he snores it is some scary!!! There have been times were I thought for sure he was dead. He would take in long deep breaths and then stop. Almost as if he was holding his breath, this could last as long as 10 seconds, and then he would exhale. He refuses to go to the doctor to get help and some mornings I am afraid he will not wake up. He is a truck driver and sometimes stops to take naps during the day. I often wonder if he has just slept so bad that he is exhausted. I have never done much reading or research on sleep apnea but, from what I have read today, I think that I will push my husband to go and see his doctor. They say sleep apnea that goes untreated can increase the chance of having high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke. I personally would like to have my husband around for awhile.
