    I take my physical on Tuesday, and I know they have to ask if you snore.
    Well I do and i've heard different things about answering this question. You know like don't say yes they'll send you home, or you''ll have to take the sleep apnea test. Just wanted to hear everyones views on this one

    Just say you can't recall hearing yourself snore . Yes , snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea but many people that don't have sleep apnea snore . The main thing to worry about is your BMI and neck size . http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

    I don't recall any question such as that on my physical also. My wife tells me i snore, but I don't believe her, So I would have to say "No"
