Noises made while sleeping

Question
My h tells me that i make a popping noise in my throat while sleeping.  I also snore and make other sounds, and breathe really fast and loud sometimes.  It has caused no end of arguments.  I always awake with a dry mouth.  My nose always feels stuffy and I often have a headache in the moring.  All of these things are worse when I have a cold.  I am not overweight.

Please help (am desperate)


Answer
It sounds like you could be suffering from sleep apnea where the airway gets occluded while asleep .snoring is its main symptom.  You need to get a sleep study to get diagnosed,   go to sleepnet.com click on diseases sleep apnea.  feel free to email again karel
