    This is in all likelihood NOT sleep apnea. I had the same thing and was also overweight. You have asthma. You've probably had it for a long time. You need to quit smoking. Take long brisk walks. And get yourself some asthma medication. If nothing else, it will help you with your exercise - asthma medication is really good for doping (budesonide and terbutaline). 

    "I snore very loudly and my wife usually has to bail to the spare room most nights because of it "

     

    Did you read the OP? just this alone is a strong indicator. How can you rule out sleep apnea? please dont give him false hope as the condition can be deadly. He may have asthma as well

  2. How would an inhaler stop sleep apnea?

     

    "sleep apnea It occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often causing you to snore loudly. Central sleep apnea is a much less common type of sleep apnea that involves the central nervous system, occurring when the brain fails to signal the muscles that control breathing"

     

    This is a physical blockage of the throat so an inhaler of course is useless. You need to get a sleep study done in a hospital but your symptoms do sound like you have it .

     

    Thailand is the worst place for it , their cpap machines cost at least double here so your probably looking at 75-100k or more

     

    if you travel home frequently then that would be the place to do it but don't leave it to long ..
