my bf is a snorer…it’s driving me bananas!!..are sleep doctors expensive?

I’m literally going insane with his snoring…it’s like sleeping next to a big broken truck reving up…in fact it’s probably more annoying…and i’ve been with him more than 3 years…i’m a light sleeper too…it seems the only time I could sleep through the night is if I’ve consumed alcohol or sleeping pills or I’ve been so sleep deprived therefore so exhausted on the 3rd or fourth day that i would completely knock out….and then the cycle would start again…i try not to take sleeping pills because it makes me feel woozy the next day…

Nothing has helped…he quit smoking for a year now….he is a drinker..but he doesnt drink everyday…i don’t know if that’s the case….he is a social drinker so i dont think he’ll quit completely…but if he was to go a month without drinking…it woudl sound just as loudly as if he did…sleeping on his side doesn’t help either….he is a tad bit overweight…but it’s just a little…i do make him nwork out..and it’s helped like a tiny teeny bit….

I think he does have sleep apnea because he would sometimes stop breathing for like 15-20 seconds and then snore really loud afterwards…I know i should sleep in another room but i dont like sleeping by myself…and really i don’t like sleeping without him either

I called a couple of doctors today and they are expensive…consultations by itself is 200…and than it ranges from 800-2400 afterwards…he does have insurance but still that’s still expensive…

I just want to know if there are any alternatives that is cheaper and that works!…I’m so desperate…and also does sleep apnea correlate with premature ejaculation?? while sleeping he’s deprived of oxygen right??..i wonder if that relates…..He’s never gone longer than two minutes, a lot of times it could be like 15 or 30 seconds…although he’s never had a problem getting hard…or getting hard again…

lastly he works out pretty well since i got him into it….and his body has toned up a bit…he was never flabby to begin with…but now u can see some minor definition….but like i said he has been working out for a year..i figured his body should be more developed…his friends that work out with him have all sculpted out a muscular body…although they are thinner though…he works out about 5 times a week…about 1 hour to 2 hours each time…i wonder if sleep apnea is hindering his body’s ability to build those muscles as well??

I do love him but we need to cure his snoring problem…i don’t know how much longer i can take this….

Answer
Ok. Classic symtoms of sleep apnea. This is a semi-serious problem. The doc will prescribe him a c-pap machine. Google it.

If he’ll use the thing, he and you are very likely to sleep much better, and consequently, feel and function much better. But, he’ll still snore when not using the gadget.

There may be a fix for the cause of his snoring. Google for that too, and check with a ear, nose, throat (ENT) doc.

Down side is he’s got to be willing to cooperate.

Why do people snore? What causes it?

I would like to know how you can cure it also. If there is a cure.

Answer
There are several reasons why someone may snore and it varies among everyone.

Some of the major reasons has to do with sleep apnea.

Another major issue is extra tissue in your throat vibrating causing the snoring sound.

Some other minor reasons include the following:
– being over weight
– lying on your back while asleep allowing your jaw to relax and obstruct the air passage.
– bad sleep posture
– unhealthy diet and lack of exercise

These are just to name a few causes of snoring.

HELP: How do i get my husband to stop snoring?

My husband is snoring much more and much louder than he ever has before this past week && a half or so. I feel like i have to fight for sleep at night. Last night i even had too wear ear plugs. But eventually, they started to fall out && i couldn’t get them back in without hurting. So i end up frustrated && not being able to sleep again. He says his throats been swollen && sore && his sinuses have been acting up a little. Please if you know some kind of cure or pill or something that’ll help, for the love of sleep, let me know!!
I don’t have money or insurance to go see a doctor.

I try the elbow in the ribs thing like 10 times a night, doesn’t work. He wakes up b*tches, then goes back to sleeping and snoring again.

Answer
Obviously from what he says he has a sinus infection or something. Take him to the doctor. The doctor will prescribe.

If it’s not an infection he may have apnea. Again, go to a medical professional.

Action is better than complaint.

How to cure snoring? It is affecting my partner.?

Any advice on how to eliminate snore?

Answer
Snoring is not a disease. It is just habituation of the body. The persons having deep sleep, have this problem. In deep sleep muscles are much relaxed and they vibrate with respiration and snoring sound is created. Persons with the habit of lying and sleeping straight with face up towards the roof, mostly do this. So by sleeping on sides U can reduce this nuisance.

Talk to a doctor. It could be allergies, it could be sleep apnea (where you stop breathing while sleeping), it could be a deviated septum. Sometimes, changing your sleeping position will help, so try that as well.

How to Eliminate Snoring?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they’ve found a cure to eliminate snoring?

Thanks

Answer
If you smoke or are overweight it can cause snoring problems. Poor diet and excessive stress can also cause snoring. There are certain foods and drinks that can contribute to snoring such as soft drinks and sweets. You should also try to avoid alcohol, fatty foods or dairy products before bedtime because they can cause nasal blockage which leads to snoring. Sometimes just using a firmer pillow can help relieve snoring problems.

One of the best ways I’ve found that seems to completely eliminate snoring is by performing some simple mouth and jaw exercises a few minutes a day. After a few sessions doing these exercises my snoring problem was cured for good. I was really happy when someone told me about these exercises at http://RealHot.Info/Stop_Snoring that eliminated my snoring.

After years of suffering from this embarrasing problem, I can honestly say my snoring is finally eliminated for good. I know my wife is really happy as well.
