A member asked:

Will meds for different condition make snoring worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Any sort of sedative, such as ambien, (zolpidem) trazadone, or any other sort of medicine to induce sleep can cause increase snoring. CPAP can help. See your doctor to see if you qualify for CPAP. Hope this helps!
