This is general infomation to let you understand fo more information read the description an for chronic situation consult your dotor 👨⚕️ If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night. How Do I Know If I Snore? If it's loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don't believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you're stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you're stuffed up for weeks at a time. You Sleep on Your Back This can make you snore or make it worse. Sleeping on your side is better, and cuddling with your partner -- “spooning” -- gets both of you on your sides. You also could try sleeping with two or three stacked pillows so you're not flat on your back. If neither of those works, sew a small pocket between the shoulder blades of a shirt that's a little tight. Put a tennis ball in the pocket so it's uncomfortable when you roll onto your back. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn't form quite right, one side can be smaller than the other -- that's called a deviated septum. That can make it harder for you to breathe and make you snore. The same can happen if your nose was hurt in an accident. Talk to your doctor if you think something like this is going on with you -- surgery can sometimes fix it. The Shape of Your Mouth If the upper part of your mouth toward your throat -- your soft palate -- is low and thick, it can narrow your airway and make you snore. That also can happen if the small piece of tissue that hangs from your soft palate -- the uvula -- is longer than usual. You may be born with these things, but they can get worse if you're overweight. Surgery can sometimes help with this, too. Is It Your Medication? Drugs that make you sleepy (called sedatives), muscle relaxants, and some antidepressants can relax your tongue and the muscles in your throat. Some of the meds can also contribute to weight gain, which can exacerbate sleep apnea. Talk to your doctor if you snore and take any of those -- they may be able to change your meds. If You're Pregnant Moms-to-be are likely to snore because their nasal passages can swell and make it harder to breathe. Weight gain during pregnancy also can push on the diaphragm, which helps move air in and out of your lungs. But pregnant women should tell their doctors if they snore, because it can be linked to health issues like high blood pressure. If u have chronic condition consult doctor 👨⚕️ Advance airway methods are also used for extra sensitive and chronic cases.
