How to stop snoring
1.
2. If you snore, it
may be for
different reasons.
The first thing you
need to do is
identify what they
are. Once you do
that, you will have
a lot more success
in finding a way to
eliminate it.
3. Snoring is caused when your nasal Sleep apnea
passages are narrowed or blocked.
There can be a variety of reasons
for this. Here's a list:
Congestion
Colds
Allergies
Overweight
Sleep apnea
Alcohol
Muscle relaxant drugs
Drugs that promote
drowsiness
Your physical traits such as a
deviated septum or large tonsils
Asthma
Sleeping on your back
4. See a doctor to find a cause. If you
snore, you may want to see a doctor.
Even though most cases can be
explained, there are some occasions
where they indicate a more serious
medical problem that may need
treatment such as sleep apnea or
asthma.
Doctors are trained to assist you in finding a
cause for the things that ail you. If your
snoring is prolonged or severe it can affect
your health by interrupting your sleep
patterns. By doing this you are taking a
positive step to assisting your health.
5. Get rid of congestion.
Even if you determine
that your snoring is
caused by something
other than congestion,
keeping your nasal
passages as clear as
possible will help. You
can do this in a
number of ways. Here
are some of the best
ways I've found that
can help:
6. * Take a decongestant. There are
many choices--some are herbal or
homeopathic remedies and others
need to be purchased at the drug
store. I personally don't like to take
drug store remedies because I am
not able to sleep when I take them.
7. * Use a menthol inhaler. This is
my favorite option. The menthol
works for several hours and I find
that when I use it, I don't snore.
* Essential
oils. If I
can't find my
inhaler or
want a
change of
pace, I place
a few drops
of essential
on my
pillow. My
favorites
are pepperm
int, rosemar
y and tea
tree.
8. Control your
allergies. Allergies are
another cause for
snoring. If you
control your allergies
you can decrease your
chances of snoring.
You can either take
over the counter
medicine to control
them, get a
prescription from
your doctor, or use
natural remedies.
9. Being overweight is another
common cause for snoring.
If you keep your weight
down or lose weight, that
may help eliminate the
snoring. You can choose to
lose weight any method that
will work for you.
