Question: The issue started 3 months ago. The moment i was just about to fall asleep. I hear my own faint snore- Think nasal. That wakes me up and I had to start sleeping again. I was a heavy snorer too. I had a bmi of 29

ENT investigations revealed - Mild deviated nasal septum and Mallampati grading is given as 2. No other abnormalities found. Fluticason spray was given along with mild sedatives and was sent home. I did not have day time sleepiness nor was gasping / choking so doctor did not think it to be OSA.

Its been 3 months I got my BMI to 27. Reduced 7 kgs ( still working on getting fit). My snoring reduced by 90 percent and I am snoring extremely less. Occasionally though I still hear my own faint snore before falling asleep. I read that hearing your own snore in lighter stages of sleep is normal but it still wont put me at ease. Out of a week at least twice I hear my own snore a couple of times before falling asleep.

Although I am no doctor wondering if this could be upper airway resistance syndrome / OSA / some thing else.

I just want to know what would be the best recommendations regarding this problem. I just want to go to bed close my eyes and wake up again with out hearing my own snore.
When this happen I never choke / gasp for breath
