Stop Snoring Remedies

Question by CRT: Is there connection between snoring and nasal congestion?
I use ear plugs at night when I sleep, and because of this I’ve heard myself snore. And I have nasal congestion, so I wonder if there’s connection between snoring and nasal congestion. Your help is appreciated.

Absolutely there is a connection…just research it a bit. If it is problematic, you should see an Ears, Nose, and Throat specialist.

Yes there is a connection, but like others have mentioned, not all snoring is sleep apnea. The major difference between regular snoring you are still breathing normally. Sleep apnea sufferers stop breathing several and sometimes hundreds of times a night.
There are a ton of other problems that sleep apnea causes, but the best way to find out if the snoring is sleep apnea is to be tested. And if it isn’t they can tell if there are any other problems causing the snoring.
