Is there a solution for heavy snoring?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from a heavy snoring issue. With this issue, I am not able to enjoy myself with my friends when going on trips and even when someone visits our apartment.

Is there a solution? My snoring is very severe.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Sure, there is a solution, but firstly, you have to detect the cause with the help of investigations and tests. You have to be examined by an otorhinolaryngologist to detect the nature of the soft palate, uvula, nasal septum, nasal turbinates, tongue base, and to exclude any nasal polyps.

The second step is a CT scan of your nose and sinuses. The final step is the airway examination during sleep in a sleep laboratory.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
