how to get a free remedy on stop snoring forever?

Don't know about how free, but snoring is something that a lot of people do and its pretty harmless.\n\nHowever, if you are having other issues like: sleepiness during the day, failure to concentrate, excessive snoring (you wake people up in other rooms), then its something that probably should be checked out by a physician.\n\nSleep apnea (*spelling*) is a serious condition with some pretty nasty long term effects on people.\n\nMost stop snoring remedies available over the counter are pretty worthless in my opinion and dont really address the issue of why someone is snoring.  There are lots of reasons but to correct any of them and feel confident you are going to be satisfied with results you need to see a doctor.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY CONSIDERED! THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD EVER SUGGEST IS THE CPAP MACHINE PERIOD OR IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS THE BIPAP MACHINE FOR SLEEP APNEA.  THEY KEEP THE AIRWAYS OPEN AND WORK WONDERFULLY! \n\n\n\nI use nightly one of those CPAP devices, it really did give me back about 20+ years of my life, no kidding. You should go to one of those sleep labs and subject yourself to the couple of nights of testing that are really required to fine tune. I swear I fought it with every thing I could possibly bring forth, then last year after emergency hospitalization the nurses advised my wife that I stopped breathing X number of times while I sedated ... "did he have sleep apnea?" Needless to say this hard headed 60 year old I can make it on my own had to seek help!!! OR GET A NEW WIFE I DECIDED THAT THE CLINIC WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE, LAWYERS COST TO MUCH!!!! (JOKE)\n\nI went to the Clinic, which was no bed of roses, but acceptable. BUT the resulting CPAP once I got use to it is absolute WONDERFUL! I honestly feel much younger. The dang thing works, I was kind of wishing that it didn't. BUT I SWEAR THAT IT DOES AND IF YOU THINK THA YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. I SWEAR YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT! \n\nWHAT ELSE CAN I SAY!\n\nYOU WILL REALLY FEEL MUCH BETTER!\n\nIF IT IS YOUR HUSBAND!  YOU WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER AND HE WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER ALSO !  BUT HE MUST GET USE TO THE DEVICE!  IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 2 WEEKS! AFTER THAT IT TAKE NO CONVINCING HIM TO USE IT ! HE WILL WANT TO USE IT!\n\nMAIN THING IS TO GO TO A SLEEP LAB AN DO AS DIRECTED BY THE SLEEP DOCTOR!\n\nSWEET DREAMS AND GOOD LUCK!\n\n\nAPS

i think you are coming down with something fairly wicked.  Do you have any vitamins/herbs in the house?  Don't eat sugar, not even orange juice.\n\nI would take these things if you have them:\na multivitamin\n5,000 IU vitamin C, one horsepill every few hours\nzinc (suck on a zinc tab - disgusting but great)\nraw garlic or garlic pills\n(echinacea/goldenseal, Airborne cold remedy (it's probably not a cold though), zicam cold remedy, ginseng, astragalus)\n\nyou'll need food to take any of those.  my pick would be yogurt, or Kefir probiotic yogurt drink.  otherwise, go with some fruit, or just whatever you got.  That's assuming you have some vitamins to take.  Otherwise, try not to eat unless you really need to.\n\nthen take hot shower, and once warm enough, turn to full cold for 60 seconds, or as close to full cold as you can go.  cycle back and forth, cold and hot, a few more times\n\nalright, then you want to make some warm saltwater, about as salty as seawater or blood.  (use sea salt if you have that)  Put it in a shotglass or something, and pour it into a nostril, drawing it in gently.  once you have some in there, pinch off the nostril and squeeze it... the idea is to rinse out that whole area as much as possible... now blow your nose and do the other nostril.  there is a learning curve on that one, but it's worth it... that drainage is just irritating your throat and stomach.. you gotta give your body any edge you can find.\n\nyou need to do some neck stretches, particularly backwards... stand up and lean your whole body backwards in a backbend, with your throat stretched backwards as far as possible.  I remember I used to lay on the edge of a bed with my head hanging off to get a nice easy stretch.  you want circulation in that area, not just of blood but of other bodily systems.. same reason you gotta take a cold shower\n\ndrink water.   hot or hot/salty liquids are good.  sugar bad.\n\nas for it being an allergy... I think allergies can open doors for infections to take hold... consider your diet... maybe it's time to start cleaning it up if you haven't already.  every time you get ill, you risk doing some part of your body some kind of permanent harm... viral damage to glands or other organs, a suppressed immune system.  Fresh whole foods, plenty of nutrients, that kind of thing.

Yes Yes Yes.  Get him an appointment with your physician.  At a basic level, there are sprays that will help.  More drastic--surgery.  But, snoring can be strenuous on the heart, so treat it right away!

I haven't seen the TV ads, but most snoring requires more than throat rinses, nose strips, etc, although you can get him some of the rinse and see if it works - I'm dubious.\n\nSnoring can be a symptom of a very serious disorder called sleep apnea, which can, if untreated, lead to heart damage and even death. \n\nIf you snore softly once in a while, then this is probably not apnea, but if you shake the house, snore like a bear, and drive your spouse to the guest bedroom, then apnea is a distinct probability. Sounds like your husband is in the second group, so he needs medical help, not poking, smothering, or kicking!\n\nApnea is usually treated with the use of a device called a CPAP. He can't just buy one of these - they are sold only on prescription, as the pressure needs to be adjusted to his individual needs, with too high pressure being as dangerous as too low. CPAP stops snoring 100% and usually makes the patient feel generally more energetic and alert during the day as well.\n\nPlease get him to ask his doctor to refer him to a sleep clinic right away. They usually have a long waiting list, and it's important to get the process started ASAP.

Hello,\n   I have been a sleep clinician for about 20 years**yipes! and you simply need to see a physician or sleep physician (they are called Diplomats of the ABSM *American Board of Sleep Medicine) as soon as possible to get some treatment. The only Board certification for sleep medicine is Diplomat, ABSM which means they have passed rigorous examinations and training in sleep disorders medicine as well as their other specialty medical boards (Pulmonology, Neurology etc). They will offer you options for treatment that will GREATLY improve your life. Once treated, you will be amazed at the changes you see in your daily life functioning levels. The tiredness goes away, you will lose weight, you will be able to sit in meetings without sleeping but it takes treatment.\n   The longer you have sleep apnea, the more damage it does to how you feel daily. Treatment options vary greatly but NCPAP *Nasal Continuous Positive Airway pressure* is one of the preferred methods for effecting treating sleep apnea. Its a small mask that you wear at night that provides an airway splint with air being pushed through nasal passages. Patients I have treated with it tell me that once they start it their lives are miraculously changed overnight. If that is the treatment your doctor suggests you should wear it every time you sleep (even when napping) and  even take it with you for your occasion business or vacation trips.\nIf you get nasal stuffiness, simply call your physician and ask for a nasal steroid (nasal spray) that will alleviate the problem.  Should you have other options research them carefully before opting for surgery. In many cases, nasal polyps or deviated septum require surgery (but NCPAP) can be used before and after this to assure you continue to feel better. There are some surgeries however, that have very low success rates and create whats called "silent snoring". That means you are still having apnea without all the sounds which can be dangerous as it doesn't alert you to arouse yourself during a period of sleep apnea which would terminate the apnea. Snoring with sleep apnea are alerts to the brain to arouse you to stop the sleep apnea episode. \n  I can reassure you if you get treatment, you WILL feel better. I know this a very difficult time in your life and very hard to deal with daily. You WILL get better with treatment and you WILL have so much improvement you will feel like a miracle has occurred.\n  I have enclosed some links that I hope help you learning about sleep apnea and treatment options.\n\nhttp://www.absm.org/\n\nhttp://www.sleepnet.com/\n\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/sleepdisorders.html\n\nhttp://sleepdisorders.about.com/

Well, snoring can actually be a symptom of the potentially fatal condition knows as apnoea, where the sleeping person actually stops breathing for a few seconds and then emits a loud burst of snoring.  In fairness to the snorer, you really should tell him or her to get to the GP and get checked out.  There are steroid sprays and anti-histamine pills available that can help (if it is a form of allergic rhinitis) and the sufferer may be required to be assessed more fully by an ENT specialist.\n\nIn any case, it is doing no one any good, so it needs to be addressed and hopefully resolved.

Your boyfriend needs to seriously consider testing for sleep apnea, especially if the snoring seems to be throat-based.  I'll just bet he has it, too.  Age is not a factor; I am told kids as young as 12 can have it.\n\nI have it and didn't know it.  For me, it wasn't a snoring issue; it was an issue with not getting a restful night's sleep.  I'd wake up in the morning and feel completely exhausted.\n\nI was tested three years ago and was shocked to find out that I stopped breathing 30 times in three hours, which essentially woke me up.  When the clinic stirred me, they put me on a CPAP (controlled positive air pressure machine) and I fell into deep REM sleep for the first time in I can't remember.  Since then, I use the CPAP every night and sleep like a baby.  You will, too.\n\nI can't stress enough the health implications of this beyond the lack of sleep.  It is a severe drag on the heart and respiratory system.\n\nI can't speak to your financial issues, but medical insurance should cover this if your doctor makes the referral.\n\nAccording to my doctor, surgery has only a 35% success rate.  I didn't like those odds.  My experience with Breathe-Rite strips was largely negative although they were helpful when I was at the gym (-:

for that...the best remedy is toothpaste. dab ample amount of toothpaste and just go to sleep. the toothpaste will absorb the oils. always worked for me.. my husband taught me this and it's really amazing. it's best when you do it at the earliest stage.\nhope this works for you too and other out there.

There are causes of snoring that may possibly be helped by a sleep study to determine if sleep apnea is present.\nThere are surgeries available, or some use a C-PAP machine to keep the airways open while sleeping.\nA good ENT should be able to help with your problem.\nbest wishes

my husband does snore and it seems to have gotten worse over the last year. I had him go to the Dr. for a physical and  the Dr. referred him to a sleep lab where they do whats called a sleep study. Turns out my husband has sleep apnea( this is where he actually stops breathing many times a night) scarey huh? He is going back to the sleep lab in May for another study this time they will be using a special type of breathing mask to see if it helps keep the airway from collapsing while he sleeps.

http://www.snoringcure.ca/ check this website out, it gives info on sleep apnea and different devices that can be used. \n\nI would also suggest seeing your doctor. Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea or other underlying medical conditions.\n\nI had to have my sinus passages widened because I had a terrible snoring problem, they also found a polyp which was blocking my nasal passage. \n\nGood luck to you:) I hope this helps

Well, my husband is what is called a "heroic" snorer, in which the snoring is so loud it can be heard in other rooms of the house.\n\n"Because you tend to snore more when sleeping on your back, one useful technique is to try to keep from sleeping in that position. One way is to wear a pocket T-shirt backward with a tennis ball in the pocket. You will be less likely to sleep on your back because it is very uncomfortable to sleep on a tennis ball."\n\nTry losing some weight. As little as 10 pounds might make the difference.  Avoid alcohol, especially in the 4 hours before going to sleep.  Avoid using sedatives and narcotic medications. Alcohol, sedatives, and narcotics cause relaxation of your throat muscles and increase the tendency for airway obstruction related to snoring.\n\nThose should help.  The Breath-Rite nasal strips should help.  But, in our house, just having the snorer sleep in a different position does the trick!  \n\nLots more info on snoring and treatment of snoring at site below.  Hope that helps!

If it is you that is snoring, I would consult a physician, he/she may have a drug preference, that you could try. Snoring can sometimes affect your health, so whether it is you or your significatnt other, it is a good idea to consult a physician.
