diwali, I used to "snore" too for a couple years and I got relegated to the spare room so my W (now ex) could sleep. It started around the time I had a really bad flu and strep throat, all congested but the congestion never went away, after a few months went to see doc he said it was inflamed, I had chronic sinusitus, prescribed nasonex I used that and also went on prednisone for a while - the prednisone took the swelling way down was able to breath again, but as soon as I stopped it came back. After a year of that finally asked him to send me to ENT who said right away I have a deviated septum that may have caused the inflamation from improper air flow, went on 18 month waitlist for surgery, during which the ENT also discovered massive nasal polyps that were protuding into the back of my throat. Once I got all this surgically removed I have not "snored" again - I wasn't ever really snoring in the first place I was literally choking, and for that 3+ year ordeal I was going on about 3 hours of broken sleep a night, it took a big toll on everything in my life.

Get your H to see a doc and if doc can't fix to get referral to a well-rated ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist.
