If you still have your tonsils, that may be the problem. Your tonsils may be enlarged; hindering the way air enters and leaves your body. If tonsils are removed, go to the doctor for a sleep study. They keep you overnight, and they monitor your vitals while you sleep. I found out I had sleep Apnea, where I stop breathing for a brief time while I sleep. Hope this helped

Snoring does not cause strokes, but OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) can. The study mentioned does state that mild snoring does not increase the risk. I question how they rated mild vs severe, but to state that any snoring will increase the risk of a stroke is a streatch. OSA will cause snoring or snoring is a sign of OSA, but either way said you need to get looked at for a possible sleep study. Alcholol can make snoring worse as can any sedatives and many sleep agents. They all relax the muscles in your neck and may worsen the snoring. Breath strips don’t work BTW. Do you have any other sign of OSA? http://www.sleepdisorderchannel.com/osa/symptoms.shtml
For help now:
Don’t drink alcholol before bed
Don’t take sleeping agents
Try sleeping on your side (tennis ball thing could work)
Sleep at a 60 degree incline
