Is my boyfriend ok??? (he is sleeping)?

My bf is making scary noises in his sleep and then not??? Like, he’ll be snoring, then it sounds like he’s struggling to breath, then dead silence. The ribs are still moving so I think he’s still breathing? He always wakes up, so that’s a good sign. Is he ok?

Thanx!!!

    LOL!  My sweetie used to wake me up in the middle of the night.  "You weren't breathing!  Breathe!"  Then after a while she got used to it.

    A lot of people stop breathing in their sleep.  It's called sleep apnea.  Usually it's not a problem.  In some people it gets to be a problem.  So you get a doctor to prescribe an air pump with a face mask you wear to bed, and it forces air into your lungs.  It's called a CPAP for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.  My sister uses one.  I don't need one.

    Let it be known, it's normally okay if they wake up. You have to be careful, the undead often act similar to humans until the brainstem fully deteriorates. 

    Keep Safe.

    Sleep apnea

    See if he can sleep at an angle.  My husband sleeps on a pillow wedge.

    He should do a sleep study to see if a CPAP machine would be right for him.

    Sounds like sleep apnia, he needs a sleep study done. With this problem, you do actually stop breathing.
