Can getting my tonsils removed help my snoring?

Depends: In children, enlarged tonsils which significantly reduce the airway space are one of the main reasons for sleep apnea ; removal usually results in improvement in symptoms. In adults, tonsils do not usually obstruct the airway nearly as significantly. But if you do snore, have excessive sleepiness, morning headaches, ; periodic cessation of breathing in sleep, please see a sleep dr. For evaluation.

Possible...: (True story).. My new office manager told me she had a problem with snoring and her husband by complaining. My exam revealed HUMONGOUS tonsils that were most likely chronically infected. I referred her to her M.D., who diagnosed chronic/pathologic tonsillitis, and recommended their removal. Now 2 years after tonsillectomy, She has never snored again! But, there may be OTHER issues in your case!!!
