Sour taste and snoring
I have a severe snoring problem from my student life I.e. since 13 years. Now a days it has increased in many folds. I have completely withdrawn myself from wine and cigarettes from the last three years. I don't take tea or coffee either. But I do have a bad habit of taking pan masala from last 14 years. When I wake up in the morning I feel lots of drowsiness and sleepy and tired. I also have a hyper acidity problem. After meals my mouth gets sour taste and that is why i have to take panmasala

You seem to be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome which usually presents with excessive snoring, day time sleepiness and lack of interest. You need to undergo sleep study which is known as polysomnography to confirm the diagnosis. Once diagnosis is confirmed appropriate treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
