Answer:

Sleep apnea

Explanation:

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where a person pauses during breathing or breathes shallow while sleeping. Each pause may last for few seconds to few minutes and it can occur several times in one night. It is usually preceded by a loud snoring. It ends with a choking or snorting sound after which normal breathing resumes. It disrupts normal sleep and the person might feel tired the next day.

Sleep apnea maybe obstructive which means that the breathing is hindered by a blockage of air flow or it might be central in which unconscious breathing simply stops or it might be a combination of both.

Since Rick's roommate stopped breathing several times while sleeping his symptoms were most probably caused by sleep apnea.

Jackie is a healthy women.  She is 45 years old and 5'7" tall.  Jackie's current weight is 160 lbs.  She exercises 4-5 times per
mezya [45]
Assuming her weight loss is going to happen through nutrition alone. This question can be answered if we make apparent a few points. One pound is equal to 3500kcals. Jackie needs to lose 15lbs in 3 months. Therefore, she really needs to lose 52,500kcals (15lbs x3500kcals). In 3 months this equates to a caloric deficit of approx 584kcals/day (52,500kcals divided by 90days). So in order to reach her target goals she’s needs to be in a caloric deficit of 584kcals a day for 3 months from her current caloric intake that permits the maintenance of her body weight.
