A member asked:

Someone told me the other day that i breathe really loud. what causes this? i weigh 220 pounds and am 5'6, so i guess i'm a little overweight as well.

Obstruction/constric: There is obstruction or constriction of the nasopharyx or of the nasal canal or sinus, or there is an allergen causing the loud breathing. See an ENT
