A member asked:

I seem to have developed a snoring problem. do i need to consult an ent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, the 1st step: Yes, the first step is to make sure via the ENT MD that the snoring isn't being caused by a physical airway obstruction. If that is negative, many snoring episodes can be attributed to "sleep apnea" or sleep positioning. The ENT MD can then refer you, if necessary, to a sleep lab for further testing.

I think my tonsils or my tongue is causing my snoring. I have an appt with an ENT next week but in the meantime Ive been researching night guards; some people say they can cause bite misalignment and that is deterring me from considering them. Help?
