How to Stop Snoring
You're probably aware of the statistics on snoring, and the fact that's it's not good for your overall health and well-being. Knowing that information might motivate you do to something about your snoring or the snoring of a loved one, but knowing what to do to stop snoring isn't a clear cut answer.
There are many products advertised that supposedly stop snoring, but in order to know what is going to work for you, you need to understand your anatomy and what's causing your snoring. The only way to understand the source of your snoring is to have an evaluation with a medical professional who specializes in snoring, like Ashford ENT Clinic.
Generally, you're more likely to snore if...
- You sleep on your back
- You use alcohol or other depressants
- You’re congested from allergies
- You have a cold
- You have a structural problem with your nose or throat
- You’re obese. Being overweight also makes it difficult to stop snoring because you may have extra tissue in the back of your throat, which narrows your airway.
The best way to stop snoring is to seek out professional medical assistance to find the solution that will work best for you. There are many options available, but the best option is always the one that gets to the source of your snoring and creates lasting results that will improve your health. Whether that's a lifestyle change or minimally invasive procedure, like snoreplasty, Ashford Clinic is here to support you and help you on your way to a better night's sleep!
