My ex-wife used to complain and poke me to get me to stop snoring. Post-stroke I had a sleep test and found out I had mild sleep apnea, stopping breathing 6.5 times per hour. Got a CPAP which was intolerable to use. I don't know if I snore right now, no one to tell me.

Dean, Bob used to snore heavily pre-stroke, especially when lying on his back, he also had a sleep test and was told he had sleep apnea, he also was prescribed a CPAP and also found it intolerable, so didn't use it. Now he does not snore at all, even though he is always on his back because of his inability to roll over.... Can a stroke cure sleep apnea/snoring? Or can sleep apnea just go away? Inquiring minds want to know!
