If your snoring is really loud and disruptive, chances are good that you have a condition called sleep apnea, which MUST be taken seriously. Untreated sleep apnea not only stresses both the snorer and everyone else in the house who can't get a good night's sleep, it can also lead to heart malfunction and death!
Apnea is easily treated with the use of a night-breathing aid called a CPAP. You must see a sleep doctor before you can get one, as they have to be individually adjusted, but most insurance covers the cost. CPAP eliminates snoring 100% and keeps your heart from being damaged. Surgery is very rarely used to treat apnea, as the success rate is not that good.
Please ask your doctor to refer you to a sleep doctor or sleep clinic ASAP. These facilities often have a long waiting list, and procrastinating can really damage your health. Do it today.

You may have sleep apnea. Talk to your Dr. about it. There are also strips called breath right. It helps some. If you sleep on your back, turn over. If you have gained weight you may want to loose it. This can cause snoring. I hope you find a solution. Mine was sleep apnea and I use a C-Pap machine. If you don't have insurance its real expensive. If all else fails, snoring is not so bad. Good luck.

Many people find relief with the breath-right strips. I hear there is also a surgery for snoring, if it gets really bad. You might want to ask your doctor about it.

I've heard of these strips you can buy and you put them over your nose and they magically make you stop snoring. I highly doubt it works so I would see a doctor.

depending on the severity you might need some kind of surgery or a machine to help you breathe at night. my dad to have surgery for his snoring and it didnt completely go away but it helped tremendously. go ask your doctor about it, they can help you out a lot more.

Breath right strips or if it is really bad go to the ENT doctor to see if you have a diveated septum.

Nose strips, lose weight, exercise, quit smoking, take it easy on the alcohol if that does not work, see a physician.
