Sleep apnoea could be responsible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the details.
Well 210 pounds is ona higher side and you may be having a sleep apnoea. The best way to diagnose it would be do get a polysomnography done. This will give a definite diagnosis of sleep apnoea. If it is present, you will be reaquired to loose weight and use a bipap machine for a few days.
Hope this helps
Kind regards.
