Cure for snoring? besides breath right strips they dont work for me?

Answer 1

People snore for many different reasons, but basically people snore due to a restricted air flow through an obstructed airway. Unlike daytime hours, constantly produced secretions in our lungs, bronchi, nasal cavity and sinuses tend to accumulate in the back of our throat at night while we’re lying in a horizontal position. Congestion and swelling occurs as the irritating secretions begin to surround the soft tissue in our throats and airways which then partially obstructs the airflow. The interrupted airflow vibrates the soft tissues in the back of the throat and produces the snoring sounds.

Some of the more common causes of obstructive airways may include:

1). Sleep Apnea, irregular breathing and a serious sleep disorder prompted by the lack of oxygen

2). Obesity, which tends to narrow the airway

3). Enlarged tonsils or adenoids, (most notably in children)

4). Alcohol use, which relaxes the tongue or muscles in the throat, resulting in airway blockage

5). Deviated septum, which is a crooked tissue and cartilage between the two nostrils

6). Aging, as one grows older the likelihood of snoring increases

7). Stuffy nasal passages, due to colds or a sinus infections

8). Allergenic Rhinitis, this can be either seasonal (temporary) or perennial (all year long)

Snoring can be symptomatic of other health conditions, even an allergic reaction to poor indoor air quality and the indoor allergens which can promote allergenic rhinitis and sinus infections. The focus of this response is how one can reduce indoor allergens and thereby reduce problems associated with snoring through knowledge and by improving housekeeping practices.

It’s estimated that 39% of the U.S. population suffers from allergenic rhinitis which, like asthma, is an ever increasing, prevalent and common health problem. The percentage of sufferers is likely to be even higher as many sufferers do not even seek proper medical relief.

More often than not, allergenic rhinitis is triggered by an allergic reaction to an inhaled substance. The two types of allergenic rhinitis are seasonal (temporary) and perennial (year long). Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) occurring more often in the spring and summer, is usually due to pollen from trees, grass and other plants, when the pollen counts skyrocket in numbers. Perennial allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction typically known to be caused by mold spores, animal fur, pet dander, feathers, dust mites, house dust and the allergens we inadvertently transport indoors from upon our hair, hats, overcoats, and clothing.

Some symptoms of allergic rhinitis:

1). Snoring

2). Congested or runny nasal cavity

3). Itchy, irritated nose

4). Red, watery, and/or itchy eyes

5). Sinus headaches

The “grungiest” place in our homes is often in our bedrooms…and in particular our beds, where we sleep one-third of our lives. Because our bedrooms are generally unseen by guests, typically less time is spent on cleaning bedrooms as opposed to cleaning our front rooms or living areas. Our bedrooms become, unknowingly, a dumping ground as well as a breeding ground, for allergens. After a day outside, at work, in a classroom, or away from home, the bedroom is the first place we go to change clothing. Our clothing attracts and collects a number of allergens such as pollen, dust, animal hairs, molds, and pet dander. In addition, the ideal micro-habitat provided within our unhygienic mattresses, pillows, and our bedding, lend to a perfect breeding ground for micro-organisms that include dust mites, mold, mildew, spores, pollen, bacteria and viruses.

Nowadays, utilizing a professional mattress cleaning service, a service that not only cleans your mattresses but also cleans all of the “soft furnishings” in your home, is extremely effective and very cost efficient. Recent technological advances have resulted in producing the specialized equipment required to reduce or eliminate indoor allergens. Technicians’ using HEPA-rated vacuums (not just HEPA-rated filters) and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) light wands can also educate homeowners with tips to continually reduce indoor allergens and avoid the triggers that cause allergenic rhinitis as well as asthma and other illnesses. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) has suggested that 50 % of ALL ILLNESSES are caused by, or aggravated by, poor indoor air quality. The U.S. EPA states that “dust” is worst offender amongst indoor pollutants.

House dust contains a mixture of approximately 28 allergenic components. Typically, dust mite allergens (DMA’s) account for the majority of the composition of dust, more than any other single particulate. These allergens are very light-weight and easily become airborne for up to two hours at a time before settling throughout the entire house. This fact negates the effectiveness of costly mattress and pillow enclosures as the dust and allergens simply continue to float about the indoor air and accumulate on your bedding.

Hire professional mattress cleaning technicians to remove the allergen source(s) at the point of origin. Integrate into your housekeeping practices, the tips offered by the mattress cleaning technicians for reducing allergens. Remove dust “collectors” in your home and using proper HEPA-rated vacuums to clean carpets no less than weekly. These housekeeping practices can lessen your exposure to indoor allergens, thereby reducing possibilities of suffering from allergenic rhinitis, asthma, respiratory and skin diseases and increase your quality of health.

Answer 2

Have you ever looked into sleeping disorders?

Sleep Apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes snoring. If you have tried other cures that do not work, then I'll bet my life it's sleep apnea.

You may want to call a doctor who specializes in sleep disorders, in the meantime, do some internet research on it to see if you have the other symptoms.

Answer 3

One that I've heard is to use a kazoo or a didgeridoo. They're supposed to work your throat and make it stronger, so it won't relax as easily.
