Problem with snoring!

[lilacben]

I have an awful problem with snoring. some nights it is so bad I wake myself up each time I snore as well as my husband. He puts a hand on me to stop me but I am alwas awake anyway.then next day I am so tried all day. It isnt only when on my back as I lay on my side and front and still do it. Have tried the throat spray you can get and now the strips but still no luck.!!! anyone else have the problem.? Brenda x

I have suffered the same problems for years, go to your Doctor and ask to be referred to an ear nose and throat specialist, they can fit you with a small mask that provides positive pressure to you breathing and stops all snoring, the mask will take a few nights to get used to but its well worth it.

yep me too, they say i have severe allergies and nothing has helped it. I am told that i snore so loud the neighbours half way down the street would have no trouble hearing me - really depresses me. I read somewhere that if you are insulin intolerant (which i am) then you might be a loud snorer. The drs are not much help though and seem to laugh in my face whenever i tell them. Might be worth going to the dr though you might have that sleep apnea. Good luck.

I have the same problem, to the point where my partner and me sleep in separate bedrooms, doors closed, and he still has to come in and wake me up because it's so loud!

My doctor prescribed a cortico steroid nasal spray called Nasonex (mometasone furoate monohydrate). Apparently it works by reducing swelling in the tissues in the nasal and sinus cavities.

It took a couple of days for the effects to start to show but now it works a treat and, apart from not keeping the house awake at night, I feel 100% better when I wake up in the morning.

Might be worth having a chat with you doctor and see what they recommend.

I live with a pneumatic drill myself, so know what it`s like. He`s tried various things & one of the best things I`ve found is a little plastic thing that you put to open up the nostrils. The one WITH magnets is quite good, better than the others. I`ll check up exactly what it`s called.

Me again. It`s called a nose clip & it`s by Apolia. I got ours on ebay.

Im female and have the same problem. It drives my partner mad, he attempts to sleep in the same bed but goes to the front room after half an hour or so.

I think its my throat rather than my nose that causes the problem. I havent as yet found anything that works. Hope you do! I believe in my case its because I am a few stone overweight, dont know about you!

Being overweight, smoking & drinking coffee late in the evening & alcohol can all contribute to snoring.

lilacben - Both me & my husband snore. I wear the squashy foam expanding things for the ear, available from superdrug.
