Snoring

MsChazzer

Echoing floss2's post, I also ended up going to be tested for sleep apnoea at the local sleep clinic, don't have it though. The only thing that works for me is the sprays you can get, although very occasionally I've had to re-apply them in the middle of the night because I started snoring. You also have to re-apply if you have a drink.

I asked my dr if the spray was available on prescription as it can be quite pricey, but unfortunately not.

Allegedly I snore but my OH moans and twitches his legs! (every 7 seconds)!!

Mine's a twitcher too - with a raised bed, the blooming thing shakes every time he does it :mad:

Snoring is often more prevalent in overweight people. Don't know if this is an issue.

I have to admit I was a snorer but now I've lost weight the snoring has ended much to my partner's relief.
This is the plan I work from.
Today I had
Breakfast
Bacon tomatoes omlette
Lunch
Chicken/vegetable soup
Mixed salad and fried bacon
Yoghurt/stewed apple
Supper
Caulifower cheese.

No money to spend on WW or time wasted on meetings, no meal plans, no calorie counting,no special foods, no exercise (although it's good for your heart & lungs if you can)

I used to be a twitcher in bed as well a while back but I sorted that after I increased my magnesium intake. Magnesium Malate or taurinate are good versions. I take 600mg/d. It helps relax the muscles. Another cheap moneysaving idea is to use magnesium Sulphate, Epsom Salts or Dead Sea Salts, Magnesium Chloride (about £7.50 25kg) in the bath. A Jugful in a hot bath and 20minute soak will enable the magnesium to soak through your skin transdermally (same effect as a patch) and help you sleep more relaxed, it may take a few days to build up if you are deficient/insufficient at the moment. Many people are.

Which spray do you find effective? What is the spray actually doing?
My husband and I both snore and live with it but if in a family room on holiday my daughter can't bear it!

Dont go for surgery like i did it bloody hurts when the morphine wears off, and you will prob end up with a secondrey infection like i did, only to find that you cannot eat or drink , good if you want to loose weight, spending ££££s on antibiotics that take ages to work, still my gp said it is a slim chance of it working any way, the proceedure is called a palateplasiy, or something like that . They cut the back of your throut or lazer it depending on which surgeon you have got, then let it try and heal thus tightening up the back of your throut stopping the vibration that causes snoring. i know this sound very neg but thats my story, my wife has invested in good ear plugs:D
