Causes and treatment of snoring?

Collapsing throat: During sleep, the muscles in the neck relax and coalesce together, causing narrowing and sometimes blockage of the throat. Due to the narrower airway, snoring occurs. It usually is a manifestation of sleep apnea. Treatment is with a CPAP machine.

Snoring remedies: . Sleeping on one's back is one of the primary causes of snoring because the jaw and tongue drop back blocking the airway. Wearing a t shirt with a tennis ball sewed into a pocket on the back will keep you from this position. If overweight, losing weight can also help because the tongue decreases in size too. See an ENT to make sure there aren't any airway obstructions. Wear breathe rite strips.
