any tips or products for stopping snoring

Testee

Fortunately snoring is not a problem in my household but there is a natural supplement formulated by Higher Nature called Neversnore - might be worth a try:-

https://www.highernature.co.uk

It says you take 1-3 capsules a day depending on body weight or for fast results double the suggested intake for three weeks - 30 capsules is £6.90 and 90 capsules is £17.90. P+P is free.

Whilst I have not tried this particular product I can highly recommend Higher Nature as a supplement supplier - I have been using them for many years and find their products and service excellent.

Good Luck

have u ever heard of the anti-snooring dental device

u sleep with it overnight and it protudes your lower jaw forward hence keeping the airway fully open.

In some cases it works wonders

Hi Loops I too have sleep apnea & stop breathing 36 times per hour, also been told not to drive!! I've completed a CPAP trial which did the business so now have to buy my own - costs around £500+£600 - if you know where I can find one cheaper I'd be very grateful. Meanwhile I wish you & your partner luck & hope he gets treatment fast. Sleep Apnea is the pits! Penelope Trotter

CPAP is one of the treatments available for people suffering with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) which occurs when the muscles controlling the tongue and soft palate (roof of mouth) relax, causing snoring and breathing difficulties including the cessation of breathing, for up to 2 mins.
During this time the blood oxygen level drops, this eventually alerts the brain to wake the person up in order to take a breath. These awakenings can happen from a few times to several hundred times a night. The person is not fully woken by these events and in the morning will be unaware of any disturbances to their sleep, but as they have not had a long period of undisturbed sleep it will have an effect on their daily life.
These include, exhaustion during the day (to the point where they cannot stay awake), depression, irritablity, intellectual deterioration, sexual problems and morning headaches.

A CPAP system works by continuously pushing air through a mask into the nose (occasionally masks which cover the mouth are used). The air passes through the nose and into the throat, where the slight pressure keeps the upper airway open. This results in a night of uninterupted sleep.


Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV)
is used as a treatment in a variety of respiratory diseases such as, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), Cystic Fibrosis, Neuromuscular Disorders, Central Nervous System Disorders, where the patient suffers some level of respiratory failure during sleep, resulting in a type of sleep apnoea but not OSA, these patients would probably have been treated in a Hospital setting with a NPPV device before being discharged home with one,
NPPV devices are also used in the weaning of patients from Invasive ventilation.

Hi - thanks but there are 4 main causes of sleep apnea besides OSA, the message from the brain to breathe doesn't get through, also shallow breathing & sorry can't remember the last one, maybe because I have 36 apneas in every hour so now feel totally brain dead. My biggest problem is not being able to drive until I have my own CPAP machine. Apparently not everyone is told NOT to drive when they are diagnosed. I was unlucky to find a consultant who was insistant I must not drive & have had to inform the DVLA.....Penelope Trotter

Hi Glad,

As a regular visitor to a specialised respiratory unit, I've seen a number of both CPAP and Nippy machines. The Nippys are (I believe) for more serious and rare apnoea cases, i.e. central apnoea where intermittent non-breathing is caused by messages from the brain, rather than a purely physical problem. I think there are at least three Nippy machines, although I'm not sure how they differ. CPAP's are by far the more common sleep aid and many units would probably have no cause to use any other machines.

The "many" breathing machines I mention are the number of different types of CPAP's and Nippys available, each tailored to an individual's specific breathing problem.

All these machines obviously work on the same principle though ... to force air up through the nasal passages to open up the airways.

Hope this helps a little.

Hi Mimi - any idea where I can get these CPAP machine. I now have a script for one from my specialist. My apnea is a mix of all 4 causes! They are so expensive - cheers Penelope Trotter
