So I'm a Snorer?

So my husband has been waking me up the past several nights, "Honey, you're snoring!" and I apologize and roll over. He says I've always been a snorer but I suddenly think it might be getting worse.
One thing that points me to thing that points me to this is that I'm waking up EVERY day with a sore throat. A really sore throat, which I'm now realizing is a DRY throat.
Second.....I'm realizing how much he has to wake me up. It used to be once in a while but now I'm apparently madly snoring away the night like some sort of cartoon character.
I wonder at what point I have to worry about sleep apnea/sleep disorders vs. this just being a tired girl who snores?
I'm remarkably ill informed.
My mother snores like a freight train. My grandmother snored so loud it would shake the windows.

Hmmmm.

Suggestions?
