Not all snoring is caused by obstructive sleep apnea, but that is the most common cause of really loud snoring. It is a serious disorder which can cause heart damage and eventually kill the snorer. Anyone who snores a lot should get a sleep study done, as apnea is easily treated by the use of a CPAP machine, but these have to be individually set for the correct pressure to stop a person's apnea/snoring, so you can't just buy one - you MUST go to a sleep clinic and get a prescription - too little pressure will not stop the snoring/apnea, and too much can cause other serious problems.
Sleep apnea is NOT always weight related.
