British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association

Well, just registered 60 year old male. I had a septoplasty done a couple of years ago and have very good clear breathing. However... when I am asleep I make such loud noises that my wife needs up with ear plugs! I do this, apparently, with my mouth closed.

Any suggestions?

Have you been back to your GP? You need to check out physical causes AND investigate the possibility of OSA.

Unfortunately even a septoplasty may not solve the problem for good, so you need to check up on your present situation ............ good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I have not asked my GP; assuming that there was not much that could be done. My septoplasty was not anything that I had done for the snoring problem - it was spotted while being checked over for a medical research project I was attending.

I'll ask my GP next time I am there and report back.

I do hope that you won't take this in a negative way, but if the situation is bad enough for you to post on here, it is worth taking the time to visit your GP about it as a priniciple reason for a consultation! The sooner you get this investigated, the happier both you and your wife will be!

All good wishes, and hope that you can be seen soon!
