SNORING PROBLEM...help?!?
By azilana7037 •
It's embarrassing to admit but this is getting to be a concern lately.
I know I have a snoring problem especially when I'm too tired to the bones. I know its normal to snore once in a while, but not everyday. I remember my mother saying that she had an adenoid operation when she was a child, maybe it's genetic/hereditary.
Maybe Sinus ? or is it due to smoking or being diabetic?
A doctor/friend already said it's NOT Sleep Apnea.
And to think I lost an adequate amount of weight, lessened smoking (as I couldn't quit cold turkey), and sleeping on my side.
Any OTC (Over The Counter) medicine that you guys could reconmmend...or a doctor/specialist perhaps?
Any advise/recommendations would be highly appreciated...thanks in advance.
of all the topics...this one was chosen to dig up...hmmrp
Well, FYI.
I tried everything:
- nose strip
- nasal spray
- throat spray
-losing weight...
But I found the best MEDICATION...SLEEP ALONE...lmao
Thanks,
Till ur spouse is with u dont bother about snoring
Think of it only when she threatens to leave u
COOL GUY
I'll try anything...

My Wife says she never hears me snore when I have had a drink.
But then again, she would have had one also. :p

If you are a mild snorer, switching to sleeping on your
side might cure your snoring altogether. Best posture is turn on your right side
maybe it would stop too...
it's worth the try?

I have it quite bad also.
The biggest problem I have with snoring is that when I am really tired I wake myself up just as I am falling asleep.
Then I am aware that I am about to sleep and about to snore, so I end up walking around the room unable to sleep.
It's no fun I can tell you.
I blame smoking for causing me to snore BTW.

Snoring, for centuries until then the scientists haven't find any effective cure to it. Just enjoy your sleep, let your partner go to other room HE HE!

Azilana.... it's also due to lack of sleep and stress ...

Theres a ring you can buy and when you sleep you wear it on your pinkie finger. I bought it for my hubby in Australia and i swear it worked, he gradually decreased snoring to the point it stopped. You can find these online, and some have money back guarantee...
http://www.antisnor.net/ this is one of many websites availabe to read if you like.
My father had an operation for snoring and it didnt work for him so be careful before resorting to operations, the drs will tell you its not 100% per cent effective...
if it doesn't bother you or wake you up don't worry about it! If someone else tells you you snore, deny all knowledge of knowing you snore...say it was the traffic outside for example.....
my housemate (next to my room) already told me about it.

and not something you can help...you do what you can to attempt to fix it then go on and if someone finds it unbearable, then they can go sleep on the couch..

don't use the nasal sprays with decongestants in them..those can be addictive...use the saline ones...shrinks the nasal tissues so the air can flow better

But here's what I already did:
- I lost 8 kilos already....from 82kgs, i'm down to 74...
- from 3 packs a day, I was able to lessen it to one pack...Yup, i'm nearly there.
- I seldom drink alcohol...If i do, 2 glasses is enough...
- I even put a pillow behind me so I would sleep on my side.
What else to do??? :-(((

hello everyone
this is something from the mayo clinic website. hope it helps...
causes of snoring.....
. Your mouth anatomy. Having a low, thick soft palate or enlarged tonsils or tissues in the back of your throat (adenoids) can narrow your airway
Alcohol consumption. Snoring also can be brought on by consuming too much alcohol before bedtime. Alcohol acts as a sedative, relaxing throat muscles.
Nasal problems. Chronic nasal congestion or a crooked partition
obstructive sleep apnoea.
self care!!!
If you're overweight, lose weight. Being overweight is a common cause of snoring. Loose throat tissues are more likely to vibrate as you breathe, and extra bulkiness in the throat narrows your airway.
Sleep on your side. Lying on your back allows your tongue to fall backward into your throat, narrowing your airway and partially obstructing airflow. To prevent sleeping on your back, try sewing a tennis ball in the back of your pajama top.
Nasal strips. Adhesive strips applied to your nose help many people increase the area of their nasal passage, enhancing their breathing.
Treat nasal congestion or obstruction. Having a deviated septum or allergies can limit airflow through your nose. This forces you to breathe through your mouth, increasing the likelihood of snoring. to correct a deviated septum you may need surgery.
Limit or avoid alcohol and sedatives. Avoid drinking alcohol at least four hours before bedtime, and let your doctor know about your snoring before taking sedatives or hypnotics.
if all that doesnt work consult an ent specialist and then a sleep disorder specialist.both are available at hmc.
do it right - the first time!

And all the while I thought you were the most eligible bachelor here in QL ...
Mind you I m still looking around for a 6-foot Filipina for you to date...
On the subject of snoring..... I think there are special pillows they sell to help you have the proper position of the neck while you sleep to avoid snoring. I don't know if they really work "as seen on TV"....
no way...if you show up at the airport she will turn and run when she sees that look in your wolfie eyes...

A deviated septum can also contribute to snoring but don't have it operated on as they usually come back, I found out the hard way!!! But your nasal
canal then is smaller on one side and makes a problem. I find sleeping on my side is better than laying on my back. Good luck
me no snore me sleepy calm and quite:D and my spouse too

I think it is better to put a cork on your spouse's ears so he/she will not hear you snore.
use rolled up papertowels...much more attractive with that end piece hanging out and flapping in the breeze...

ask the other person to consume a half bottle of Whisky before sleep. Tested and Results are marvelous :)
you also snore hmm ok you also put cork in nose :D
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
have you tried the saline nasal spray?? if the tissues in the back of your throat are dry, perhaps its causing the snoring...

sorry azi...just popped into my head!
Snoring is a very involved matter..can be a LOT of individual things or a lot of things added together...
Have you been tested for sleep apnea? I honestly do not think someone can diagnois sleep apnea just on a visual exam...requires a sleep test to see the extent of it and to verify.
Adnoids DO have an effect on snoring...as do allergies or sinus problems. have you tried those nasal strips that help open up your nose?
Good luck, hon...I know it can be very annoying...
