Is there any non-surgical way to stop snoring?

Janice asked:


I doubt it’s nasal congestion because I don’t have trouble breathing when I’m awake. But my sister tells me that I snore. I know for a fact that I do, but just do not know how to stop.

use the nasal strips that you put on your nose.

What that other person said. BreatheRight nasal strips.

Breath Right strips might help. It’s like sleeping with a band aid on your nose but they do making breathing way easier.

In addition to strips there are some sprays which you can use to spray your mouth but i have had mixed results.

Well, there are different methods…including some sleep tests and exercises that a sleep specialist can give you, but before you go through all that trouble and money, you should try Breathe Right. They are nasal strips that you stick on the bridge of your nose before going to sleep and they actually reduce and sometimes completely eliminate snoring. You can buy them at any drugstore and they also sell them at Costco. They have different sizes so make sure you get the right size for you.

Sleep outside, preferably underneath a very busy highway bridge, this way you will not bother anyone with your snoring, I don’t know of anyone that does not detest someone that snores, if you’re not married, do not think of finding a husband, he will abandon you as soon as he discover that you make horrible noises with your wide open mouth while you sleep.

nasal strips are useless.
surgical has a very low success rate.
Snoring is an indication of partial airway obstruction, most likely sleep apnea.
Primary and most successful treatment is CPAP.
Look for a accredited sleep lab with a doctor board certified in sleep.

Sleep on your side. Also, use a humidifier. If it doesn’t stop, you might need a device to help you breath better at night, called a CPAP. There are a ton of these on the web but you might have to try out a few to see which style suits you (over the face without a strap, etc).
