Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and agree that you could be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Overweight people are more prone to develop this condition.
Common symptoms include snoring and increased daytime sleepiness.
The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing a sleep study (polysomnography).
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
