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

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.
