Is your snoring so bad enough to disturb you from sleep? Means do you feel choking or do you have to get up from sleep to breathe properly? (Apneic episodes) ?! A thorough Nose and Throat examination required, to diagnose where the obstruction is actually.
Next Steps
Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) to see how your throat condition is while asleep. if there's nothing significant in this study you need to follow these;
1) Check if you have Nasal Obstruction
2) Diet Modifications
3) Weight reduction
4) Exercise
Health Tips
While asleep, muscles are relaxed, so air passes through narrow airway, which results in snoring.
