What Causes Breathing Through The Mouth And Excessive Snoring?
My husband s breathing is not normal. He inhales through his mouth and exhales through his nose. He sometimes inhales and exhales through his mouth. He gets out of breath easily and seems to have labored breathing. He also snores alot, especially on his back. What could this be?

Hi , in my opinion, your husband might be having obstructive sleep apnea. This needs clinically evaluation and treatment. I would suggest you to consult with the doctor and get evaluated. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
