TRT Injection Frequency Increase Snoring?

[Jake_from_StateFarm]

I've been on 100 mg/week TRT for approximately 18 mos. Began with weekly injections and, with so much to monitor regarding impact/improvements in my life, I did not notice an increase in my snoring.

I moved to twice weekly injections approximately 6 mos ago and, as I became acclimated to life on TRT, the one issue was increased snoring but it seemed sleeping on my side helped and it was not an every night issue.

A month ago I moved up to 3 injections per week (still 100mg/week) and now the snoring seems to be every night and even while on my side.

Could it be that my T level is constantly near peak and this is causing regular snoring?

It was probably caused by increased sleep apnea with testosterone cumulative exposure, your gaining weight, more alcohol use at night, and other potential factors.

Thank you. I need to learn more about cumulative exposure and snoring. I only ever drink on Friday and Saturday and my weight has only slightly increased to 178lbs at 5'10"

Fluid retention in the body can cause edema of the air ways which is what causes sleep apnea. I have a lot of water retention when starting new protocols and retaining some afterwards.

I use dandelion root because it doesn't affect potassium like prescription diuretics.

Sleep apnea, if you have it and are on TRT, it's dose dependent.
