Brief Answer:
Get Investigated.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Snoring is a very common cause of tiredness. In night if you snore, you get disturbed sleep, you don't notice that bit it's disturbed which leads to tiredness and sleepiness the next day.
Your BP seems to be fine. Only issue is slightly high diastolic reading , that is 90 mmHg. It should not be more then 80 mmHg at this age.
I would advise you following:
1. To get investigations as you have been advised.
2. To start regular exercises. The exercises should also involve regular jogging or brisk walking.
3. Start steam inhalation daily.
4. Use Saline drops (available in market ) 2 drops in each nostril before you sleep. Use these for 15 days. If you have any recurrent allergic rhinitis/ sinusitis problems, see your doctor.
5. Take low salt diet.
Follow these advises, get the investigations and write back to me with reports.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
