I'm a 26 year old male who is 6 foot 3 and around 19 stone and I have a snoring problem.

I don't do much exercise other than about a kilometer per day plus what ever I do on the stairs at work. Which sometimes can be quite a lot.

Up until a year a go I was a smoker and stopping made it much more quiet.

I snore very loudly, louder then I thought was possible. Even after quitting smoking it is not good.

My question is what causes such a loud snore, and what I could do to either quieten the noise or stop all together?

Edit: my other half also mentioned that sometimes I fall silent for short amounts of time, like I'm holding my breath.

Edit 2: I know how loud I snore as a friend once recorded me from outside the door to prove he wasn't exaggerating when he stayed at mine.
