I was just wondering how can i help my dad with his loud snoring?

Snoring is a symptom: Sometimes of sleep apnea. This is the most important condition that needs to be ruled out. A sleep specialist can make this determination. If he does not have sleep apnea and all he has is snoring, a dental appliance can help or alternatively, there are some minor surgical procedures that can be done on the soft palate/uvula to open up the airway and reduce turbulence which is the reason for the.

Snoring remedies: If you are overweight, losing weight not only reduces pressure on the airways, the tongue shrinks in size, further opening the airway. Don't sleep on your back ( sew a pocket in a t-shirt and put a tennis ball in it ). See an ENT to make sure that there isn't a problem with deviated septum, tonsils or adenoids. Use breathe rite strips. See a dentist to have a custom sleep device made.

Is it snoring or: something else? Snoring can make life stressful, but snoring can also be the first sign of sleep apnea, a much more serious health problem. Fortunately, many treatment options are available for snoring and sleep apnea. See your PCP for consultation and sleep test.
