Opinion of Elena Malysheva

It is impossible to treat patronymic relatives who suffer from it, it is better to take them to a doctor-somnologist immediately. Snoring can depend on the sleeping person's posture. If the reason is this, then it is possible to provide in the pajamas of the snoring from behind a pocket in which the tennis ball lies, and then when it is turned on its back it will be inconvenient to sleep and it will get used to rest on its side. Or instead of a ball to pin there a few pegs.

On the video - Elena Malysheva talks about the causes and treatment of snoring in men:

In the most dangerous form of snoring - interrupting, the brain wakes up when it lacks air and the person snores loudly. During the night it can be repeated several hundred times. Therefore, with an 8-hour rest the patient may not breathe until 3 hours. This leads to a worsening of the cardiovascular system. And the reason lies in the shift of the jaw down. With such a disease a person needs to undergo polysomnography, after which it will be possible to accurately determine the diagnosis and prescribe an effective treatment.

Muscles of soft palate may lose tonus due to body weight. With obesity, muscles atrophy, and when a person breathes in a dream, they vibrate, creating snoring. It can occur in any position of a sleeping person. It can be eliminated by surgery, but it does not give 100% of the result.

If this does not help, then you should seek medical help. And to treat this phenomenon is desirable, because against the background of it can develop other diseases.
