A doctor has provided 1 answer
Snoring: The most common cause of snoring is obesity, use of alcohol and sedatives prior to sleep. Weight lost, avoid alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, sleep on your side can improve snoring. If all else fails, see an ENT doctor for exam to r/o upper airway obstruction due to anatomical reasons.
