Question

is there any natural ways to prevent/ help me

Answer 1

Snoring is dangerous. Apart from feeling tired etc it can lead to a heart attack.

Go and get it checked out by a doctor who will refer you to a sleep specialist who will study your sleep patterns. It could well be sleep apnea (aka apnoea) which is a very dangerous condition.

Snoring is also common in overweight people or in people with excess skin around their tonsils. Your sleep specialist will check all of these for you.

Answer 2

Snoring is not a joke, and it's not just a nuisance.

Snoring is often a symptom of a serious disorder called sleep apnea. This can damage your heart and even kill you. You need to go to a sleep clinic without delay - ask your doctor to refer you.

In most cases apnea can be 100% eliminated by the use of a night breathing machine called a CPAP. It might take a night or two to get used to it, but then you will not only not snore AT ALL anymore, you will feel much better during the day, too.

Please do not delay in seeing a sleep specialist - it's very important!

Answer 3

People only snore when they lie on their backs; they do not snore if they sleep on their sides. Try strapping a rubber ball or something else to your back that makes lying on your back uncomfortable. During the night you will naturally roll over onto your side, thereby stopping your snoring.

Answer 4

i don't think that there is any natural way to help, my husband snores bad enough that i have to sleep with ear plugs, he has sleep apnoea where he stops breathing, he now needs a machine, maybe go see a sleep clinic and see what they can do cause all you might need is some sort of mouth guard witch will help. or surgery. Lying on your back or sides doesn't make much of a difference. good luck

Answer 5

I realised that if I close my mouth when awake I find it almost impossible to snore breathing through the nose only.Try it.So I tried taping my mouth over with adhesive tape at night.It worked.Just be careful to be able to remove the tape easily by leaving a folded-over tab of tape.This may be useless if having a blocked or runny nose. But it DOES work.

Answer 6

Try not to sleep on your back, lose some weight, rub a bit of Vicks on your chest before you got to sleep, get those nose strips or you can get these things that you can wear on your wrist that apparently give you a little jolt when you start snoring.

Answer 7

Hehe .. snap!

I've never been overweight and I know many snorers who are far from obese.

I had bought a spray from the pharmacist. It contains natural oils and you spray it to the back of your throat. It lubricates the back of your mouth and throat, and therefore prevents them from becoming dry and your tongue sticking to the back of your throat (which is what causes the snoring). It works very well.

Answer 8

I've tried a few things and the only one I've found is a mouthguard which brings the lower jaw forward. Posh name is Mandibular Advancement Splint. You can get them on the internet for about £25 so it's worth a try.
Good luck

Answer 9

haha, thats funny. get a boyfriend, and everytime you snore he should just turn your face to the side, you will stop snoring, if that doesnt work out, he should kick you, or hold your nose. That what i do with mine.

Answer 10

A lady that admits she snores! Thats a first. Anyway don't worry so long as your sleeping.
