Stop Snoring Remedies

Question by rchl782: My husband snores and refuses to see a doctor. What Can I do?
My husband has never been a snorer, EVER! In fact he was always the perfect bed partner and I appreciated this. Over the last several months his snoring started and has become increasingly worse. Sometimes it is so loud it wakes me from a dead sleep. Some nights I am awake 5,6,7,or 8 or more times throughout the night. I roll him over but that is only a temporary solution. He gets angry if I wake him with no disregard or care to the fact I’ve been awake all night due to his snoring! I can’t sleep, I am tired all day, and I am snappy not just with him, but others as well. I can’t function like normal and I don’t feel like myself. I know I am becoming sleep deprived. Whenever I mention his snoring he REFUSES to talk about it or see a doctor. He has NEVER snored his whole life. Sometimes he makes choking and gasping sounds. Other times the snoring is just plain loud and obstructive and sometimes there is no sound at all, not even breathing. What should I do? I really need some sleep.
I told my husband over a month ago his snoring was keeping me awake ALL NIGHT and his answer was “I don’t really give a #$ *@” He figures if he is getting sleep than who cares about anyone else sleeping. It is all very selfish behavior. His snoring is going to be the end, I swear! I can only sleep on the couch so many nights, waking up with a sore neck from being uncomfortable. My husband does not care that this bothers me and he thinks I’m making too much of it. What he doesn’t get is that his snoring could be sign of health problems and it is also causing me mental problems! I can’t deal with his snoring without yelling, poking, pinching, waking him and feeling general frustration. I used to be a heavy sleeper and I miss it very much. I don’t have dreams anymore because I am such a light sleeper now and the slightest noise will wake me. I used to be able to sleep through anything anywhere! Now I can barely get a good nights rest and this is only achieved by sleeping without him!

Question by Steve: Is sleep apnea a real problem, or is the doctor trying to scam me?
My doctor, who’s new because I moved, referred me to a “sleep specialist” because I told him I snored heavily, am often tired during the day, and am overweight. The sleep specialist, after having me sleep with a bunch of wires strapped to me for a night, diagnosed me with “obstructive sleep apnea”, and is telling me I need a breathing machine for when I sleep at night as treatment. Also, he’s told me all sorts of stuff about health risks from the apnea: I’ll get to being fatigued to the point of narcolepsy, I’m at even more risk for an early heart attack, even though I’ve started going to the gym I won’t be able to lose weight, etc.

Now, what I want to know is, are there really health risks from sleep apnea, and is it a real problem, or is it just some sort of medical fad or scam?

Question by ?Sydney Erin?: Sleep Apnea? My dad has it but won’t go to the doctor.?
My dad is very stubborn. I am so sure he has sleep apnea because I looked up the symptoms and he pretty much matches all of them. Loud snoring, long pauses in his breathing (20-30 seconds), extreme sleepiness throughout the day, irritability, fatigue, mood changes, and headaches. Sleep apnea can cause serious problems in one’s life and I am so scared for my father. When ever we go out to a hotel on vacation and have to sleep in the same room, I can hear the pauses in his breathing and it freaks me out because I am afraid he is going to die or something. I asked him why he doesn’t go to the doctor so he can get treatment, but he insisted that everything was okay. My dad hates admitting he is wrong. How can I convince him that he needs to see a doc asap so he won’t have to continue having these problems? Its really taking a toll on me also (the irritability and mood changes). Thanks for taking the time to read this. :]

If he’s overweight he may need a general physical. I reccomend a physical at least every 2-3 years to check cholesterol and other stuff. He should just get an overall checkup.

Question by Proud mom of 3: My four year old seeing his ENT doctor tomorrow. ?
I need some advice. I have the feeling that my son doctor give me a fight about taking his tonsils out. I believe it better for my son to get them out now. And his doctor doesn’t.
This past February he got his adenoids taken out. They left his tonsils alone. Since then my son tonsils has been huge. Now he snoring during the night past three or four months. He been waking up alot during the night. I know couple of times he coughing but dry. He not eating to well that he has been loosing weight. Which is Doctor he see when he sick or his check up worried about his eating. He seem to play with his ears a lot. I know they are fine because took him to the doctor once for it when he had a cold and found out his tonsils were huge at that time. He does have speech problem due to his mild hearing loss. Also I had notice when I put his hearing aid’s in he says it hurts like the whole ear hurt. But then he won’t wear his hearing aid’s. I been trying to do research on tonsils to see want would be best. Right now I think it best to get them out. I should my foot down with his doctor to take them out now. Or should I wait and see if there be any more problems. My mom coming with me tomorrow. I know my son has asthma and he gets a lot of colds that will make those tonsils to get huge has well.

Sounds like your son’s medical problems have NOTHING to do with his tonsils.
Doctors will only remove the tonsils if a child has continuous strep throat problems.
