No dont feel your going to offend me. Your absolutely correct. I should have said the majority of sleep apnea conditions derive from the soft palate. Respiratory ailments without a doubt could cause snoring. The two types of damaging cerebrovascular incidents your really talking about are ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke right (im assuming you have a family history)? I didnt know that the thrombosis causing these was hereditary until a few days ago, i always thought it was diet related.
