Snoring: Several possibilities: some people only snore if they sleep on their back, so try avoiding that. Losing weight. See an allergist. See an ear nose ; throat specialist to evaluate your tonsils, adenoids and sinus. Have an overnight sleep study to evaluate for sleep apnea and wear a CPAP or wear a custom made dental device that holds your jaw forward while you sleep thereby increasing the airway.

See your PCP: Snoring can make your life stressful, but snoring can also be the first sign of sleep apnea, a much more serious health problem. Fortunately, many treatment options are available for snoring and sleep apnea. See your PCP for consultation and sleep test.
