Snoring while you're awake

I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else. There are times during the day when I am fully awake and my airway gets cut off. I think I must be relaxing my tongue or something because all of a sudden, my airway gets blocked and I sort of make a snore noise. It scares me to have that happen when I'm awake. I mentioned this to Sir_C in another thread and he suggested I put it out there as a new topic. Can't wait to hear your replies ...Amy

Yes that have happen to me more than once. I know it's scary to have that happen. I'm still scare sometimes to go to sleep. i take it day by day and sleep with my CPAP. I just have to learn to use it while I'm taking my naps

I had somethihg similar before I started with CPAP. Not a real snore, a sort of "clack"... didn't like it either.

That happened to me. But I hadn't realized that i actually was dozing. That scared me even more than the snore.
