Stop Snoring Remedies

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 fury07: why would you not try Somnoplasty as a Dr. or a patient? seems a good treatment for Snoring (my doc wont do it
i have a snoring issue- read about Somnoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that a friend had done in the office- my doc says is doesnt work, and a couple of my friends could have but didnt use either-seems a reasonable option to what could be more surgery- just curious if any other Dr.s have opinions, or others like me could have done it but decided not to-just looking for opinions.

It’s becuase there are many different reasons why people snore. and it may be the case that in your particular case – somnoplasty is not doing to work.

You could try getting a Slumber Guard for your snoring – it’s guaranteed to work – and if it doesn’t – then you get your money back.

They are available in chemists, and also online.

Operations should only be undertaken as a last resort.

What do you think? Answer below!

I am at my wits end, my husband snores incessantly, on his stomach, back, side. Nothing seems to help. Does anyone know of any home remedies or anything that has worked for them? Product recommendations would be great. Ear plugs aren’t an option, I have a little one I need to hear wake up during the night.

Do what my grandma did. Everytime her hubby snored she poke him with a pin. Did it to all us kids to. Cures bed hogging and kicking to.
