My boyfriend has pretty loud breathing and it's been like that his whole life as far as I know. I'm just wondering what causes this. He does not have asthma and has never had any "attack" or anything that goes with asthma. But I just notice that he breathes pretty loudly and when he's sick or after a lot of physical exertion, it's much louder.

Could this be dangerous in any way? I'm just wondering about it, if anyone has any info, that would help. Thanks. Smile

If he is overweight, that would cause him to breathe heavier.
