Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be due to your obesity, if you are over weight, and could be due to disturbed sleep or sleepiness during the day. It is advisable to meet a pulmonologist and get evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
