Why would my Doctor think I have sleep apnea ?

Guys can be such BLOCKHEADS about seeking help. Does his doctor know about this breathing-stoppage? If so, you and the doc can hog-tie hubby and drag him to the nearest sleep clinic.

My father-in-law is morbidly obese and a HORRIBLE snorer. We’ve suggested he get this checked out but he claims his doctors aren’t worried about it. Frankly I suspect he’s never even mentioned this to the doctor.

My poor mother-in-law has had to live with this for decades. She complains that he used to wake himself up and would stop snoring… but now his hearing has deteriorated to the point where he doesn’t do that, and just continues sawing wood uninterrupted.
