Answer 1

Avoid drinking alcohol, eating heavy meals at least 4 hours before going to sleep. Nasal passages can be kept clear using a humidifier, inhaling steam, nasal strips and nasal sprays. A continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) machine may also help, but it is available only on prescription.More remedies

Answer 2

If the snoring is very severe, and you've noticed pauses in his breathing when he's sleeping, I'd talk to your doctor about getting a sleep study performed. Your regular doctor will probably refer you to a pulmonologist for this test. Basically, they will hook your husband up to a bunch of electrodes and sensors and monitor him while he's sleeping. If they find evidence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea during his sleep study, they will probably prescribe him a CPAP machine. The cause of OSA is fairly simple. During sleep, the tissues of the airway tend to sag and obstruct the airway. The snoring sound you hear is caused by air trying to pass through this narrower airway. If the airway is completely obstructed, it may cause him to stop breathing for a moment or two (apnea) and then snort and grunt to try and get the air into his lungs. CPAP machines provide a constant low pressure to the airways to help keep things open and the air flowing. Your husband will wear a mask connected by tubing to a small machine that will sit at the bedside. CPAP can be challenging for some people to get used to, but most say eventually that they've never slept better in their life. Long term effects of OSA can cause damage to the heart and increase his risk for cardiac problems. OSA is very common and easy to treat. But the first step is to get a sleep study. Good luck:)

He probably has a deviated septum and needs sinus surgery, which by the way is NOT painful at all! The worst part is the breathing tube they put in your throat, makes it sore when you wake up. Anyway, the only other choice that MIGHT help is if he uses one of these sinus rinse bottles: neilmed.com

Basically you squirt salt-water up your nose, through the sinuses which clears it for a while, it might last long enough to get to sleep. The surgery is great! Totally worth it.

Answer 4

As mentioned weight is often a big factor in snoring, but not in all cases.

This might be the answer to your prayers if you have almost given up. Lots of information and case studies....

Answer 5

Try having him sleep on his side which helps keep the throat area open.

Also use nasal strips which open up the nostrils

Medical procedures can be taken if it is a serious condition

Answer 6

If he's overweight, he may have to lose some weight. It could be a cause for his snoring.
