I was able to schedule a sleep consult but not until Aug 15th. It has become a lot worse!!!! It will be a long month, I have timed my husband not breathing at night for over 30 seconds. He didn't think he had a problem but now is realizing how tired he is during the day from lack of quality sleep. Went for a drive at 8:30 pm and he started falling asleep 4 times on the short way home. This morning he started to doze at a red light and realized all the cars in front of him had gone thru the intersection. It scares me to see him go without breathing and then take such huge breaths. One evening while sitting in the recliner dozing he kept startling himself awake. Told me he just couldn't stay awake. I told him he was waking himself up because he was struggling to breathe. Hope we get it figured out soon!!
