Hi guys

I have snoring problem while sleeping. It's not very loud but my wife said she woke up 4-5 time a day.

Few things to note - 

- I don't smoke

- Social drinker

- I don't have cold/flu/sinus

- My weight is within limits

- I don't take dairy products like milk at night

- I don;t take any medications at night

- I tried changing my sleeping position - side ways and face down

- every day before going to bed i used to drink warm water to clear my throat 

still i'm having this problem.. I will really appreciate any comments/advice.

Thanks

Kev

    Hi Kev,

    See if you can get your doctor to refer you to a sleep lab. In spite of not being overweight you could still have sleep apnoea.

      It might be a general health problem. When was the last time you had full blood tests, for example? That's why it's important to at least see your GP and explain that this is a new problem. I'm also wondering how old you are. Snoring does sometimes start abruptly in middle age, though this is normally more of a problem for women than men.

      I'd strongly suggest a full medical check-up and request a referral to a sleep specialist, even if you don't actually spend the night in a sleep lab.

    This was suggested to me by a sleep specialist.  I demurred when told the overnight cost would be around £2000 and that, if sleep apnoa diagnosed, there are not simple treatment solutions.  So I concluded not to bother.  Now sleep in separate bedrooms, save when in an hotel room
