The noise produced due to the vibration of the uvula and soft palate, which are present at the back of the throat is called snoring. Snoring is a very common problem affecting both men and women of all ages. Snoring gets worse with the advancing age: up to 50% of the men and 30% of the women over the age of 60are affected by snoring. Snoring affects people with advancing age. Snorers are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea, which stops breathing for a short time while sleeping. This causes a greater risk of high blood pressure and heart diseases. Snorers usually suffer from the problem of daytime sleepiness. There are numerous varieties of treatment which will help you stop snoring. Some of them are listed below:

Sometimes if snoring is serious, there is often the need to see a doctor, hopefully a sleep specialist or an Ear Nose Throat specialist. But surgery isn’t necessarily the only option, depending on what is the problem

1. Surgery, including Sinus surgery

Sleeping position

If you snore while sleeping on your back than you should try sleeping on your side. Sleeping on your back tends to make your snoring worse, as it makes your airway narrow by making your tongue to slide backwards. Sleeping on your side will help you solve the problem of snoring.

Sinus surgery

Sometimes snoring can be dealt with by less serious means, either by modifying behavior or using one of the products on the market.

This is not generally a painful operation. The person is given an anesthesia and the nose is examined using an operating telescope. Using micro instruments, the areas of blockage and the polyps are removed. Possible complications are bruising around the eye, infection, CSF leak and bleeding.

Obesity leads to a greater amount of fatty tissues in the throat and neck that can vibrate and obstruct breathing. Loosing weight will help you cure snoring by reducing the fatty tissue which is present in your airways.

Jaw positioning

Obesity leads to fatty tissues in the neck, causing breathing airways to narrow, leading to vibration of the soft tissue or snoring. Loosing weight will help to reduce those fatty tissue of the neck.
