Any ideas to Curb Loud Snoring for a Male?

Try putting extra pillows under him. My husband snores so loud and hard he shakes the bed and you can hear him all the way at the other end of the house. I tried this and it actually helped. I think it elevated him enough to open his airway more.

You have a couple options instead of that actually. Have you tried the Breathe Right products? Try getting the nose strips and using 2 at a time instead of 1. You can also get the pocket packs (similar to the Listerine pocket packs you would use for bad breath) and put a couple of those on your tongue before you go to sleep. If using all of that doesn't work, you really should consider seeing a doctor. Sometimes snoring needs medical attention. If it's affecting your relationships with other people (your girlfriend and your neighbors) then you may want to at least consider it. There's a surgery you can get for it, but if that's too extreme, then you could just talk to your doctor and see what other options he would suggest. Hope that helps some! Good luck! :o)

Whoever told you that not all snorers have apnea was only partially right. Snoring is the sign to let you know that apnea is impending. The sounds made, or snoring, is the vibrations of air trying to move through a partially occluded airway. When the fatty tissues at the back of your throat continue to flap back and forth against each other, they eventually get swolen to the point where they are totally occluding the airway, thus preventing air from getting to your lungs. Have a sleep study done just to rule out apnea, then go from there. You'd be surprised by how much you will learn about your sleeping habits and cause of snoring from having a sleep study. Good luck!!

I am told that if you hold a pillow over his face until he stops breathing, then you won't be bothered by the snoring anymore. Also, separate rooms seems to work quite well.

you already checked with a doc since you are saying not all snorers have apnea

mine does and snored on side, back etc

so

I guess unless he has surgery u are luckless

Sherbert is right!

If he hasn't already done so, please have him get a sleep study done to accurately diagnose the problem!
