General Info about Snoring

RSS Feeds   Text 
Snoring is noisy breathing through the mouth and nose during sleep. It can occur when you are breathing in or out. Thirty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 20 percent are habitual snorers. Snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons, and it usually grows worse with age. Snoring is often worse when a person sleeps on his back. Snoring arises when the air passage is blocked which inhibits easy & normal breathing. The sounds are caused by the vibration or flapping of the tissues lining the air passages. Most snorers actually don't know they snore.

It is a plain and simple treatment, which relives you of the inconvenience that snoring causes.In a new independent and comprehensive usertest of 7 anti snore remedies performed on men between the ages of 35 and 50, Asonor was award winning and #1 product overall as well as in the price/performance. This was according to the Scandinavian health magazine Sund Nu.The snore remedies in the test was mouth spray, mouthpiece, nasal strips, pillows and nasal spray. Each of the product was used by the test persons to see which of the 7 products effectively eliminate snoring and enabling a more peaceful night’s sleep.

My patient who is already having an untreated deviated nasal septum suffers from frequent attacks of dry cough on getting up from bed. He feels that something is blocking his throat and gets momentary choking of the throat also. He says that his cough makes life horrible for him. He has so far no history of snoring. Could this be a carcinoma of the throat?

CPAP is the best solution for OSA and Snoring. I had undergone surgery for the OSA and snoring but to no effect. The operation did not help at all. I then opted for CPAP machine and for the last 3 years I am sleeping peacefully and my body weight has come down gradually.
