Anybody else snore?

[mnoe82]

Newly married. Didn't know I snore until now. She's videoed me and its pretty awful. No sleep apnea, just obnoxious for her.

I've tried nose strips, sprays, pills, etc. she's wearing earplugs now but it's not a good situation. She still wakes up often.

I'm seeing these products that are essentially mouth guards. Seems hokey and the reviews are highly mixed. Anybody have any experience with anything that stopped snoring permanently?

Thanks for any advice.

Well buddy I am in the same boat as you....
As you can see in this video I just uploaded it for you. I got caught snoring today. I haven't tried anything as of yet, but I am looking into those mouth piece thing. It would be nice if somebody can chime in to give some good advice.

She said that " Today I didn't snore that loud as I usually do " what an embarrassment.

If you're concerned, see an ENT specialist.

I haven't slept in the same room as my girlfriend in over a year with the exception of hotels. She wears earplugs in the other room! Interested in the mouthpiece...less interested in the apparatus I've seen people get after seeing an ENT, but if it's true that my sleep is suffering(never mind hers) then I may go that route.

I have sleep apnea. I use a CPAP. Very happy with it. Do a sleep study to see if you need one.

I snore and have "mild" sleep apnea. I went to an ENT, got a sleep study, and ended up with a CPAP. It just didn't work for me. I started using the Pure Sleep mouth guards and they work great. My wife, who was also fed up with my snoring, started recording from her iPad. I was surprised that its the dogs that are making all the noise now, not me. I recommend the mouth guard route FWIW.
I also got back down to my fighting weight, which also helped a lot.

I am an ENT Surgeon and I agree with this message.

Really though, this is good advice. You need this worked up and should really have a sleep study to determine whether you truly have apneic episodes.

OSA is a very serious problem that can ultimately lead to heart, lung, and neurologic issues. The internet is not the place for diagnosis and treatment. Go see an ENT Surgeon or Sleep Physician.

I am about to put my darth vader mask on and hit the rack. Wish my wife would listen to me and get a sleep study. She is sawing wood right now!
