If his snoring disturbs you in another room, it is almost certain that he has sleep apnea. This is a very serious condition - if untreated it can damage his heart and even kill him!\n\nHe MUST go to a sleep clinic for diagnosis and testing. He probably needs to use a CPAP machine. This will stop his snoring COMPLETELY and enable both of you to have more restful sleep. But you can't just buy a CPAP machine - they have to be adjusted to individual needs, so you need a prescription from a sleep doctor.\n\nPlease do not delay getting him to a sleep clinic. This is not an inconvenience - it is a life-threatenng condition, which if untreated will only get worse.

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!

I am assuming your female. Well I'm female and the same height with the same prob.  I had went from 150 to 205 and lost 30lbs.  I notice now I don't snore. When I was 205lbs I snore so loud I would wake myself up.  How it happens is beyond me.  But my suggestion is cardio lots of cardio and weights.

Hi!! I can MORE than adequately answer your question.\nI have been a Registered Respiratory Therapist for 13 years. There are several reasons why people snore. \n\nOne of these reasons is because you may have what is known as a deviated nasal septum, which can sometimes be severe enough to require nose surgery to correct this problem. You can test yourself for this at home.\n\nPlug ONE of your nostrils, and try to breath in and out through the open nostril. Do this with BOTH nostrils. This will rule out a deviated nasal septum. \n\nYou may very likely have what is known as SLEEP APNEA!! I've worked with many patients who Literally STOP BREATHING for a certain amount of time, (usually just seconds,) intermitantly during sleep!! You may stop breathing for a few seconds, then silence, then suddenly your body will react buy a GASPING for air kind of noise. This is not just snoring, this is a REAL PROBLEM, depending on how LONG you stop breathing.\n\nThis APNEA can be caused by an Obstruction withing the nasal area, such as a deviated nasal septum. It can also be caused by obesity, or it can be inherited. \n\nYou need to go see either a LUNG Doctor, (Pulmonologist,) or and Ear Nose and Throat Specialist, and get x-rays to determine if you have an anatomical problem blocking your airway during sleep. You may also notice that you will wake up with HEADACHES alot in the morning, even Migraines!! Thise is caused by a Lack of Oxygen to the brain, caused by just a FEW SECONDS of NOT BREATHING!! \n\nGet it checked out, but be careful NOT to hurry into Surgery, alot of times nasal surgeries will help the problem for a WHILE, but it is usually not permanent.\n\nIF you are diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, your Doctor may want you to wear a type of "mask", nasal inserts, (not permanent,) or a device that actually goes into your mouth to keep your tongue from rolling back and blocking your airway better. NO..........PEOPLE CANNOT SWALLOW THIER TONGUES!!! But the tongue can roll back and block your airway.\n\nAnother option I just learned about last year is that you can go to a VERY GOOD orthodontist who specializes in making a MOLD to fit inside your mouth at night, it is designed to lift your jaw up and out a bit, (it isn't uncomfortable,) and this position ALONE will ultimately keep your airway open, without having having to deal with a CPAP machine. CPAP machines are used with the items I mentioned above, and is either a constant flow of Positive Airway pressure to keep your airway open AND helps to expand smaller airways deeper inside the lungs and keep them OPEN the whole time you are sleeping!! \n\nMake sure to get this checked out asap, because every second you do not breath at night, you wouldn't believe how many brain cells are killed because of not getting enough oxgyen. \n\nYOu can also try sleeping on your side, either side, this helps to keep the tongue out of the way as well.\n\nCall you family Doctor and discuss how you feel. If you do not have a significant other that sleeps next to you, you can tape yourself while you sleep to see if you DO stop breathing. \n\nBut don't wait...............go see your family doctor NOW anyway. Snoring is not normal, and usually needs to be treated in some way. Okay???\n\nPromise you will make an appointment to see your doctor!!!!!\nIf you are a smoker, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!! \n\nI hope this helps you out!! \n\nTake care, and God Bless.\n\nStefanie

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.

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.

(m)\n\nSnoring occurs when air does not flow smoothly through the air passages, or when the soft tissues or muscles in your air passages vibrate. As you fall into a deep sleep, the muscles in your tongue, throat and roof of your mouth (soft palate) relax. This muscle relaxation causes your throat tissues to sag. As you breathe, the sagging tissues narrow your airway and vibrate or flutter, creating the sound of snoring. The narrower your airway becomes, the greater the vibration...and the louder your snoring.\n\nSnoring affects 45 per cent of the population from time to time and an estimated 25 per cent of people are habitual snorers. There are a number of reasons why you may snore.\n\n\nAge can be a factor. The older you get, the weaker your throat muscles become. Weak throat muscles cause the surrounding tissues to sag and vibrate. \nIf you are overweight, your throat tissues are less firm and more inclined to vibrate when you breathe. \nA low-set, thick soft palate, or enlarged tonsils or adenoids (the spongy tissue between the back of the nose and throat) can narrow your airway. \nA longer-than-normal uvula (the triangular piece of skin that hangs from your soft palate) can limit airflow and increase vibrations as you breathe. \nNasal blockages caused by allergies or a deviated septum (when the partition between your nose is crooked) can limit airflow through your nose. This forces you to breathe through your mouth where more flabby tissue is located. \nAlcohol and certain drugs (such as tranquillisers) affect your central nervous system, causing extreme relaxation of your muscles, including those in your throat. \nWhen you sleep on your back, your tongue falls backwards into your throat which can narrow your airway and partly block airflow.

How to stop your partner from snoring may not be the best question in this case. You may want to consult doctor if he is suffering the Sleep Apnea.\n\nThere is a reason why your partner is snoring. Also, if he is suffering Sleep Apnea, he is likely to have some other health issues such as high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches.\n\nOnce he is diagnosed, there are means, such as CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), to help him.\n\nPlease check below link for further information on Sleep Apena. (I'd rather like to have you read more formal explanation than mine so that you can make your own judgement)\n\nhttp://www.sleepapnea.org/info/index.htm...\n\nThis CPAP machine or sometimes BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a very small mechanical ventilator designed to help the patient with Sleep Apena.\n\nUnfortunately, public is not aware this serious Sleep Apnea as you find answers from others....

Nothing your friend's neighbour can do about it, snoring is considered an involuntary act, like a baby crying.  Snoring can be dangerous though and if it's load enough to wake the neighbours she should see a doctor.  There's a complaint called sleep apnoea, where people can stop breathing when they snore.

Only when I'm sick.  My husband insists he doesn't snore, even when he wakes up in the morning to find me sleeping downstairs.  I keep threatening him with a tape recorder.

Sorry to hear about your husbands problem. How can you sleep next to him with all the snoring and always waiting for the next stop. I Hope the machine helps on this.  The operation is bound to improve the general situation drastically as he will most likely get rid of the machine. He will also get some good sleep again and with this being fitter during the day. By saying it will not be and "end all" solution, I think the doc means, nothing can be guaranteed and while the collapsing velum is a common cause for the apnea, it could be caused by factors.\nGood luck to both of you!

You should get an appointment with a sleep specialist. Snoring can be a symptom of a serious condition called sleep apnea. If untreated it can damage your heart or even kill you!\n\nSleep apnea is very common in overweight people, but people of normal weight can have it, too.\n\nSleep apnea is easily treated with the use of a night-breathing aid called a CPAP machine. This COMPLETELY eliminates snoring, and the user typically starts feeling more energetic and alert within a night or two of use.\n\nSnoring is not just an inconvenience - please make an appointment to be tested right away.

First learn to translate better, Snorking is an Afrikaans word, Snoring is the English one.\n\nThen I have found that blowing my nose before going to bed helps, and try and avoid dairy products, and booze like beer

When you sleep, your jaw relaxes and your mouth opens slightly, making it dry. You produce extra saliva to compensate and then you roll over or move your head and \n!poof! Big huge drool spot. I have no clue what the cure is, but I would be really interested to know. So would my husband...he practically has to sleep with a snorkel due to my drooling dilema ;)
