Get it checked out!: Seek medical help to determine to cause of your snoring. Typically a collapse airway is involved and today, a simple overnight take home sleep test can provide all the information needed to determine if a potentially life threatening, life shortening condition of obstructive sleep apnea may be at play. Do it, it may save your life!

Sleep study: I believe that a sleep study is in order. Often, if there is no diagnosis of sleep apnea, an oral mouthpiece may suffice in helping the snoring problem diminish or go away. But sleep apnea can cause other health problems and can be life threatening. Your md/do should be consulted first.
