n/m

stertor/stridor - Teri

[ In Reply To ..]
As per Stedman's

Stertor - a noisy inspiration occurring in coma or deep sleep, sometimes due to obstruction of the larynx or upper airways.

Stridor - a high-pitched, noisy respiration, like the blowing of the wind; a sign of respiratory obstruction, especially in the trachea or larynx.

Make your own decision.

Thank you so much. I knew stridor; it was stertor that stumped me! - shortcake
