There : There are a few things to consider. - weight gain can increase the risk for snoring and sleep apnea. Simply getting at weight and comparing it to a year ago will give you an idea on this. - he might have developed nasal allergies that contribute to nasal congestion and upper airway narrowing. Loud snoring can be a presenting sign for sleep apnea. I recommend that he discuss this with his primary care physician to see if he needs further evaluation with a sleep study to look for sleep apnea.
