Just started snoring now I "have to" sleep on my back any medical worries?

Snoring is not just a nuisance for your bedmate (or, in extreme cases, for your neighbor). It can be a sign of a serious medical disorder called sleep apnea. The first issue to address regarding chronic snoring is whether this is a symptom of sleep apnea. Next you can figure out how to stop snoring

Are you overweight? Do you constantly feel drowsy? Do you struggle to breathe while asleep? Do you have high blood pressure? If so, consult a doctor who specializes in sleep disorders. These are all telltale signs of sleep apnea.

Use a single low pillow. Sleeping on too many pillows can stretch and narrow the nasal passage. If, however, you are congested, elevate the head by placing books under the mattress to encourage better drainage.

Try to sleep on your stomach, since snoring is less likely to occur in this position. You can buy anti-snoring pillows designed to keep snorers on their side while asleep.

Adopt a healthy lifestyle. Extra weight, smoking, alcohol and drugs all exacerbate snoring.

Review your meds. Sleeping pills, antihistamines and other medications increase snoring.

Consult your doctor if you suspect that allergies and nasal congestion may be causing the problem. Make sure your allergy medication is antihistamine free.

Try an over-the-counter nasal strip. These strips may widen the nasal passages and decrease congestion to reduce snoring.

Ask your dentist about using an oral appliance designed to reduce snoring.

Discuss the treatments for sleep apnea with a sleep-disorder specialist. These include surgery, radio-frequency treatment and a sleeping mask that aids breathing.

This is a situation where I, as a mother, would kill this man and go to jail for life if it meant protecting that girl. I have a daughter and I could not even begin to imagine what you're going through. I know you feel like you've failed and didn't do what you were supposed to, and that's not true. You have done all you can, apparently since he's a cop they think he wouldn't have done this, so he's seemingly getting away with it? That's the screwed up system for you!! How many child molesters and baby rapers are walking around on the streets? He's just another low-life scumbag, and the fact that this is his own daughter just proves that! Stay strong, and pray that God will not let him get away with hurting your baby girl. Take her to someone who she can talk to, and help her understand that it was not her fault. I hope this works out in your favor.. Oh, I also wanted to say take her to another doctor, so that you have a second opinion. Find out why the medications were prescribed, and ask him to check for signs of sexual abuse. You may want to do this right after she comes from his house, take her straight there before letting her take a bath, maybe some of his DNA will be on her! Doctors should take it upon themselves to look out for children and abuse, but who knows if that first doctor is in fact smart enough to notice, or maybe he is being paid off? The world is a corrupt place..

A heart or breathing problem is possible so check with your doctor.
