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

Not all snoring is caused by obstructive sleep apnea, but that is the most common cause of really loud snoring. It is a serious disorder which can cause heart damage and eventually kill the snorer. Anyone who snores a lot should get a sleep study done, as apnea is easily treated by the use of a CPAP machine, but these have to be individually set for the correct pressure to stop a person's apnea/snoring, so you can't just buy one - you MUST go to a sleep clinic and get a prescription - too little pressure will not stop the snoring/apnea, and too much can cause other serious problems.\n\nSleep apnea is NOT always weight related.

You have insomnia & the only cure for insomnia is to sleep!  Seriously, as a fellow insomniac I can relate.  It's far better to actively do something rather than toss & turn in bed.  Try a bath/shower, quiet darkness, comfy room temp, & comfy pillow,bed/blankets.  Try reading or crossword puzzles.  Avoid afternoon naps & caffeine (at least after 11am).  Good luck.

Having travelled extensively and shared loads of dorms in \nYHA's and Backpackers with a wide variety of people I feel I can answer this question with some authority.\n\nSnoring on the side for blokes anyway is fairly rare. Most snore on their back. When I see a person snore on their side I know that I am in for a very bad night.\n\nAnatomically the head back position promotes snoring. Sometimes a higher pillow works.\n\nBy the way snoring can be fixed by a variety of means including homeopathic, dental appliances, abstaining from an excess of beer prior to bed and losing weight

New Way to Stop Snoring\n\nSnoring is more than just a noisy inconvenience. Doctors say it can be a sign of a serious medical condition.\n\nSurgery or the use of a bulky face mask was the only proven way to quiet nighttime noise. But now there's new hope thanks to a new treatment called the pillar procedure. \n\nHow the Pillar Procedure works\nThe Pillar Procedure addresses one of the anatomical components of sleep apnea and snoring: the soft palate. During the Pillar Procedure, three tiny woven inserts are placed in the soft palate to help reduce the vibration that causes snoring and the ability of the soft palate to obstruct the airway. Once in place, the inserts add structural support to the soft palate. Over time, the body's natural tissue response to the inserts increases the structural integrity of the soft palate.\nhttp://www.restoremedical.com/pillar.asp

First, snoring can be an indicator of a more serious medical problem. Although snoring may be harmless for most people, it can be a symptom of a life threatening sleep disorder called sleep apnea, especially if it is accompanied by severe daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing that prevent air from flowing into or out of a sleeping person's airways. People with sleep apnea awaken frequently during the night gasping for breath. The breathing pauses reduce blood oxygen levels, can strain the heart and cardiovascular system, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Snoring on a frequent or regular basis has been directly associated with hypertension. Obesity and a large neck can contribute to sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be treated; men and women who snore loudly, especially if pauses in the snoring are noted, should consult a physician."\nhttp://web1.tch.harvard.edu/chnews/01-2004/sleep/myths.html\n\nHowever, for simple snoring, one quick and easy fix is to change sleeping position. Most snoring occurs when lying on the back, so have your spouse sleep on his or her side.

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.

Snoring is noisy breathing through the mouth or nose during sleep. Just about everyone snores occasionally. People snore when they are congested. Even the baby or a beloved pet may snore. Snoring is a problem if:\n\nyou stop breathing during sleep and have to wake up to catch your breath, \nyou are disturbing your sleep partner, or \nyou are losing sleep because of your snoring. \n\nIf you suspect that you snore, see a sleep specialist. This doctor will:\n\nexamine your throat, nose, mouth, palate, and neck, \ncheck for underlying health conditions, \npossibly enroll you in a test at a sleep clinic, where someone can observe your sleep patterns and diagnose your snoring problem, and \nhelp you to stop snoring. \n\nWhat You Can Do to Help Yourself\nA. Lose weight \nLosing weight will reduce the fatty tissue in your airway. Eating less and improving your fitness level can significantly improve your ability to breathe freely when you sleep.\n\nB. Sleep on your side\nSleeping on your back may cause the flesh of your throat to relax into your airway, so adjusting your sleeping position can alleviate snoring.\n\nC. Special pillows (commercially available)\n\nD. Wear a backpack with towels in it. \n Sleeping on your back may cause the flesh of your throat to relax into your airway, so adjusting your sleeping position can alleviate snoring.\n\n(Changing your sleep position may stop mild snoring, but severe snorers usually snore in any position.)\n\n* The tennis ball trick: Sleep with a tennis ball or other ball attached to the back of your pajama top. (You can sew a pocket or safety-pin a sock to the back of the pajama top, then put a tennis ball in it.) The tennis ball is uncomfortable if you lie on your back, and you will respond by turning on your side. Soon you will develop side-sleeping as a habit and not need the tennis ball.\n \nE.Sleep without a pillow\n Try sleeping without a pillow; pillows can block your airway by bending your neck.\n \nF. Elevate the head of your bed four inches\n(Placing rolled up towels under the head of the mattress is an easy way to change the angle of the mattress.)\n Elevation of the head of your bed may make breathing easier and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward. Elevating the entire head of the bed is better than using a pillow, which can crimp the neck and contribute to snoring.\n \nG. Eliminate smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke \n Stopping smoking can help with the noise and intensity of your snoring. Also, reduce your exposure to secondhand smoke.\n \nH.Avoid eating food or drinking alcohol before bed \n Limit the intake of food or alcohol before bed; do not eat or drink heavily within three hours of your bedtime. These substances relax your muscles and increase the likelihood of snoring\n \nI. Avoid high-fat dairy milk products or soy milk products before sleeping \n Non-skim milk products and soy milk products, because of their thickness, can keep mucus from draining properly. The result is mucus retained in the throat, which can lead to snoring.\n \nJ. Avoid antihistamines for allergies or stuffiness\n Antihistamines relax the throat muscles, which can in turn cause snoring.\n \nK. Try nasal decongestants to clear your nose passages \n Nasal decongestants can help people who are able to breathe through their noses while sleeping. Nose breathing circumvents the snoring sound that comes from breathing through a blocked throat.\n \nL. Avoid sleeping pills or other sedatives \n You may be taking sleeping pills or tranquilizers to help you sleep, but sedatives also relax your neck muscles, which can contribute to snoring.\n \nIn addition to the above self-help tips to treat your snoring, you can try various products that have been developed to prevent snoring, such as nasal strips, sprays, and dilators; special pillows; essential oils; and homeopathic products. Approach all such products with caution, as many have not been proven to significantly affect snoring. However, some of

I wish you had added your age and weight. If you are overweight and snore loudly, it could be from Sleep Apnea. Ask people that live with you to watch how you breathe when you're sleeping. If you stop breathing for moments at a time, then suddenly start breathing again, it's a good indication that you have it. If so, get a Sleep Study done, it can be deadly.\nThere are a lot of reasons why you could be tired. It may be as simple as getting the right bed. Maybe you need more than 7 hours of sleep at night? Maybe a change in diet, a lack of certain vitamins?\nI would start with the simple things first, a process of elimination.\n\nGood luck.

Yes, the strips seem to help.  There is also a spray that you spray in your mouth before going to bed - you can get it without a prescription.  some say it helps.\n\nSome people need surgery to reduce snoring.\n\nIf you are overweight, lost weight.  It often reduces snoring.\n\nSleeping on your side or stomach rather than your back often reduces snoring.\n\nSome people say the special pillows help - I haven't found that they do.\n\nCan someone tell you whether you sort of stop breathing when you snore, then after several seconds take a big breath and snort and start all over again?  If you do, that is called sleep apnea and is very serious, even life threatening.  If you have sleep apnea, and some snorers do, see your doctor.\n\nCheck out the website I've attached.  It has lots of information.  Good luck with it.

I have sleep apnea and wear a c-pap (they also have bipap) machine at night.\n\n  Before, c-pap the only cure was a tracheotomy where you removed a cork in the hole in the neck to breathe..replacing the cork when you awake to speak again.\n\n  I have also heard that there is a dental appliance that can be worn at night. \n\nIt is a serious illness depleting brain cells rapidly. Many people that snore also have sleep apnea and you can tell by doing an overnight sleep study. \n\nAt first the bipap was extremely uncomfortable and almost made me panic but now I don't even notice as I got used to it. \n\n It is hot in the summer though with the strap across your face..I think some of the newer machines don't use straps across the face.

Treatment options for snoring and sleep apnea:\n\nWeight reduction\n\nAvoidance of alcoholic beverages, especially before retiring\n\nNasal CPAP, in which an appliance forces air at positive pressure into the patient's airway during sleep.  \n\nFor many patients, this works extremely well and invasive procedures can be avoided.  However, many patients cannot tolerate it and seek other treatments. \n\nIf a patient cannot tolerate the various masks used with nasal CPAP, a trial using nasal pillows is suggested.  For many patients, this seems to be much more comfortable than the masks.\n\nOccasionally, for effective use of nasal CPAP and to improve the nasal airways, surgical straightening of the septum (middle structure) of the nose is necessary.\n\nIf nasal dryness and/or bleeding occur with the use of nasal CPAP, applying saline nasal gel inthe nostrils prior to using the device may prevent these problems.\n\nDr. Hazenfield always recommends using nasal CPAP on a trial basis prior to progressing to invasive procedures.\n\nDiathermy palatal reduction (office procedure effective for both snoring and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea)\n\nSurgically straightening the septum (middle part) of the nose.  This usually works well for snoring, and it may be part of the recommended treatment for sleep apnea.  Also, it may help the patient better tolerate nasal CPAP.\n\nRemoving the tonsils and/or adenoids if enlarged\n\nUvulopalatopharyngoplasty (removing the uvula and part of the palate, or back part of the roof of the mouth) \n\nOther surgical procedures on the back portion (base) of tongue or through the neck\n\n"Snoreplasty" or injection of sclerosing agents into the palate (for snoring only)\n\nImplants of struts into soft palate; Pillar™ palatal implants\n\nLaser palatal reduction (for snoring only)\n\nVarious dental devices or major surgery on the jaw bones (usually for snoring only)

take your husband to see an ent (ear, nose and throat) doctor and a lung doctor (pulmonologist) as soon as possible...... there is a procedure called a uvulopalatophanyngoplasty in which the doctor 'shortens' the soft palate to stop the snoring..... the main issue here is not the snoring (although it is terribly annoying to one's bedpartner)  the most important and dangerous issue is the sleep apnea that usually accompanies this problem..... c-pap or bi-pap will help in the meantime...  good luck!

One of the most effective methods to kill bacteria in the back of your throat is to gargle with a glass of saltwater, every hour. Drink tea. Tea with lemon is supposed to help soothe your throat, but not cure it. Get plenty of fluids and rest.
