Not menopause: I don't think it has directly to do with menopause. Perhaps you had weight gain? One thing you could do is to have a sleep study to see i you have sleep apnea.

Snoring: The reason for the snoring needs to be determined before a fix can be identified. Sometimes a sleep study is needed for this reason.
