Re: neck circumference and snoring can predict

If you are male, if your neck circumference is 17" or more and you snore, you probably have some degree of sleep apnea. For females, its 16" or more and snoring. A lot of females dont like to admit to ANYONE that they snore so a lot of them refuse to get treated because it is "unlady-like" to them.

My neck circumference was over 17 inches when I was rediagnosed in 2007. It has gone up to close to 18 inches circumference a few times. When I lost around fifty pounds, I got my neck circumference down under 17 inches, close to around 16 inches. The thicker your neck, generally the higher the chance you have excess tissue in your airway.

And loud, heavy snoring is the dead give away.
