Is everyone fed up of your habit of snoring? It is embarrassing but you need not worry.
Snoring is a respiratory disorder and there are solutions to treat it.
A partial blockage that may be present anywhere in the respiratory tract, from the tip of the nose to the vocal chords, causes turbulence inside the airway during inhalation.
This turbulence, in turn, leads to snoring.
Snoring occurs only during sleep.
Actually, it persists all the time and just worsens when you are asleep.
Snoring can neither be stopped at will, nor can it be cured.
You can however, successfully control it.
Snoring is a physical abnormality and you need to identify it before you find a solution.
Believe me, this is not very difficult.
You just need to know about some simple self-help remedies.
Snoring can originate from the base of the tongue, oropharynx or the nose.
In order to find a solution, finding the cause is a must.
Following are some simple tests that will help you to know the cause of your snoring.
oNose test: In front of the mirror, press one of your nostrils to close it.
Then, inhale through the other nostril with your mouth closed.
In case, your nostril tends to collapse, you can try propping it open with the clean end of a matchstick.
If you find breathing easier with your nostril propped open, your snoring can be easily controlled by using 'nasal dilators'.
Test the other nostril in the same manner.
oMouth breathing test: Make a snoring noise while keeping your mouth open.
Now, try to make the same noise with your mouth closed.
If you are a 'mouth breather', you will be able to snore only with your mouth open.
For this, 'Snore Calm Chin-Up Strips' can help you.
oTongue test: First, stick your tongue out as far as possible and grip it between your teeth.
Then, make a snoring noise.
In case, the snoring noise is less with your tongue in this forward position, you are what is known as a 'tongue base snorer'.
The best control for this type of snoring is a 'Mandibular Advancement Device'.
Thus, controlling your snoring is not as difficult as it seems.
The good news is that there is a control for everybody.
