Hi

Welcome in HCM.

I understand your concern and I would like to say that if you are snoring so severely and it is making sleepless and stressful night to your wife than you should do-

1- Sleep study to rule out apnoea during sleep.

2- Get yourself examine for thyroid function and existing obesity.

3- Consult your ENT doctor for thorough examination and investigations and finally treatment.

Lastly I would like to say that this may be manage surgically very well by expert hands with excellent result. Any how if you are having any other disease which will interfere surgery than you may use C-PAP , an instrument of use during sleep which relives apnoea and snoring both.

Thanks for consulting HCM.
