Does going through the menopause make you snore?

This isn't a symptom we've come across directly linked to the menopause.

It's more likely to be linked to changes in your health that are taking place regardless of hormonal changes.

Putting on weight can trigger snoring, as can eating a lot of dairy products, which makes your mucous membranes more clogged up.

Hayfever can bring it on too. The menopause can bring sleeping issues - many women find it harder to sleep through the night - and this may have a knock on effect on breathing.

If you are getting night sweats, for example, they can disturb your sleep badly.
