as a teenager, i know about two people (ages 13 and 14) who snore. usually, i don’t come across this, so i was wondering how common/normal it is. people have told me that snoring at that age is not normal and a sign of sleep apnea.
minus-squareeinkornlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 months agoThere is a correlation, but not a causation. On the other hand, short interupts of breathing which are also audible are sure signs of sleep apnea.
minus-squareBadabinski@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoYeah, little gasping breaths are a super clear symptom. I’d wake my partner up by thrashing, and afterwards she said I’d always be gasping and lurching around. Many people snore, not so many do the whole unconscious “oh fuck I can’t breathe” thing.
