ASK DR ELLIE: My snoring is so loud it wakes the neighbours. What can I do about it?
I am a 69-year-old woman with a long-standing snoring problem. I've spoken to doctors about it to no avail. I get embarrassed when I go on holiday and stay in hotel rooms, knowing that other people can hear me. Can you help me?
Dr Ellie replies: We don't often talk about snoring in women, but we should – it affects them just as often as men. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get effective treatment through the GP, as there are limited options available.
