Question 1

is acid reflux related to snoring and hiccups?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Snoring is more associated with the airway and may be reflective of sleep apnea. Hiccups are non-specific and reflect irritation to the diaphragm. Hiccups may be associated with acid reflux. Belching is also commonly associated with gerd.

Question 2

are severe acid reflux and hiatal hernia related to snoring and excessive hiccupping?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Gerd certainly may be related to hiccups but probably not snoring. A large hiatal hernia can certainly cause hiccups but again would not be related to snoring. Being overweight is a common cause of gerd and snoring.

Question 3

i'm getting hiccups while snoring.is there any solution to resolve this?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

daughters uvula is stuck to one tonsil. she has always had large tonsils, but since having strep at halloween it has been stuck to one side that is much larger. no sore throat or symptoms. but does snore, could that be related?

Accepted Answer

: Snoring is related to the overall large size of the tonsils &amp; adenoids at that age. By the time the kid reaches 8-10 their body grows faster than the T&amp;A's and they become relatively smaller. Then most stop snoring. The uvula can participate, but would not be the cause. The random attachment to one side or another has little importance and should return to a normal configuration over time.

Question 5

what can be done for snoring?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Simple things such as sleep on your back, avoid excess alcohol before bed, weight loss, and some ear plugs for your partner.  If you are a robust snorer, you should consider having a sleep study to determine if you have sleep apnea. This is a more serious problem, and needs medical help.  Also, an oral dental appliance is a non-invasive way to treat snoring.

You will need to be evaluated by an ent) or breathe-right strips; avoid sleeping on your back. If you find that you are snoring & having fatigue during the day, you might have sleep apnea. You should see ent.

Question 8

is there a good way treat my snoring?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Snoring is a significant problem for many people, & often goes undiagnosed or gets passed off as an irritation. A great place to start is an examination by an ear, nose, & throat doctor and a sleep study.  Sleep apnea, a serious and potentially life threatening condition, should be ruled out or diagnosed through a sleep a study.  Based on findings, options will be presented.  Good luck.

Some with nasal obstruction improve with better nasal airflow.  Weight loss if obese.  Avoid alcohol and sedating meds.

Question 10

Sleep study: Consider a sleep study to determine if you have just run-of-the-mill snoring or something more serious called sleep apnea.  If so, you may benefit from a CPAP machine to improve your airflow, or as a second choice, a dental appliance from your dentist.  It can often cure the snoring in a non-surgical way.
