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

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.
