He might be a throat snorer. Breathe Right also makes throat spray and throat strips that help to tighten the muscles in the throat and lubricate the air way. It's worth a shot!

One option is surgery. There is a relatively new procedure called somnoplasty that uses high frequency radio waves to shrink the uvula and the soft tissue in the back of the throat.
ReplyDeleteAnother possibility is a dental device that is worn while sleeping. This is usually fitted by a dentist or orthodontist. It pulls the lower jaw foreward and keeps the airway more open and less susceptible to the vibrations that cause snoring.
I had the same prob. The snore strips did not work. What does work is a super air filter I got. We leave it on high. I call it his "snore machine" since it shuts them up when he forgets to turn it on before bed and I tell him to put it on so I can sleep.
ReplyDeleteI use the Blueair filter; other cheaper ones did not work too well:

Snoring is a symptom. You do not want to mask it. You have a fever, you take tylenol, you still have a fevor.
ReplyDeleteRegular snoring is a problem You husband needs a sleep study. Generally snoring is associated with sleep apnea.
The treatments:
CPAP-most common, very effective
surgery-<50% success rate. often makes it worse b/c of scar tissue
Dental device-very effective with the right person
Tracheotomy--true cure, but who wants a hole in there throat.
If you husband only has apnea on his back, the tennis ball trick will work. Generally very few people only snore on there back.
My partner's snoring disturbed my sleep every night
ReplyDeleteHer snoring has been cured wearing a stop snore ring an acupressure ring worn on the little finger
We now both sleep through the night with no problems
