Snoring and sleep apnea: Snoring is a problem that one doesn’t realize they have until someone tells them. One cannot hear their own snoring usually, but it disrupts the sleep of others nearby. It is usually a common condition in overweight people, but can also occur due to anatomical issues in the throat, nose and alcohol consumption.

To prevent and fix snoring or sleep apnea, you should first consider losing weight. Apart from lifestyle changes, snoring or sleep apnea requires the use of CPAP devices or mouth or nasal tubes to correct. Moreover, in a worst-case scenario, you may even need surgery to correct your throat orientation or correct anatomical features.

If snoring is the only thing going on, it will probably have more negative consequences for others than for the snorer. But if someone who snores has a "related" sleep issue, like sleep apnea for instance, then the individual will not get a "proper night's sleep" and suffer physiologically and/or psychologically. A physician's consult may be in order, and for some others, a sleep study. It may be good to talk to a doctor about excessive snoring as there may be some underlying pathology that should be investigated. Snoring is not generally a major medical issue, but it can be, and usually for "other" reasons.
