What Causes Temporary Cessation Of Breathing During Sleep In A Sleep Disorder Patient?

default
Posted on Fri, 23 Oct 2015
Question: So my girlfriend called the paramedics and said I stopped breathing. They said my Bpm was 60/25 is that even possible? I have bad sleep problems and more likely a alcoholic but I don't think that this is real? Can you explain to me how that happened?
