Number one reason for it is being over weight. There are exceptions to this but that's the majority. You want to be 5'9" 240lb? You're going to be an unhealthy snorer. I get it when I have to much too drink. I wake up like I'm having a heart attack gasping for breath like I'm drowning.
i agree with oldtimer on this,reason being is soon as i lost weight the apnea went pretty much away,still happens but way less than it used to
