They might have issues with their adenoids too. If they swell together it makes it hard for air to circulate through anywhere but their mouths. Recommend they see an ENT doc.
It could be any one or more of the many sleep disorders that can be diagnosed with a sleep study. Have him take this quiz or you can take if for him. If he scores 9 or more then he needs to seek the advice of his doctor or a sleep specialist without delay.

Many sleep disorders including snoring can be treated after a sleep study.
He might have OSA, which is Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Send him to a sleep lab and have him get a Sleep Study done by a polysomnographer. If the physician interpreting the results feels he has OSA, he will most likely get prescribed a CPAP machine, which is continuous positive airway pressure. This treats the OSA and in turn the snoring, because the positive pressure splints his airways open, removing the obstruction.
Seperate bedrooms, sigh. We now both use a CPAP machine that forces air into your nose while you sleep keeping the passages open so you don't snore. But it's like Darth Vader and Snuffelufagus sleeping together.
They could have sleep apnea. Have their doctor check them out.
ReplyDeleteI think the Dr. would be best. There are also a couple of things that help snoring you can find them like in walgreens cvs or wal-mart

ReplyDeleteMy husband is not too bad. My Dad was a very loud snorer and turns out he had sleep apnea. Have it checked out by a Dr.
ReplyDeleteI love being with someone who snores, it actually puts me to sleep.

ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes I have to move downstairs to be able to sleep. He has a machine to sleep with, but sometimes he can't use it.
