    I guess a lot of this is best discussed with a doctor, and they might want to put you through a sleep lab where they video or monitor you overnight.

    Some of these things can change with age, get worse - or sometimes get better!

    Meanwhile, always good to check on the old standards, diet and exercise, to see if there's something there you can improve. Anything there you'd care to discuss?
