What can snoring result it, and is it risky?
Brief Answer:
Depend on the cause...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Snoring is one of the symptom of sleep apnea. But not all who snore have sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea also has other symptoms. Feeling weak and tired after getting up from sleep along with this snoring, it is possible you could be suffering from sleep apnea. Besides these symptoms, you should also ask your partner whether you wake up from deep sleep at night just to catch breath. You won't have these if its not sleep apnea.
Snoring besides disturbing your partner, it shouldn't cause any troubles.
Hope your question is answer. Let me know if you need any other information.
