Snoring
There are so many complaints about people snoring and it is quite stressful when one partner snores every night and the other has to suffer. My husband used to snore every night and kept me up all the time. He was a big guy then and had quite a bit of fat around his neck. This is a huge sign of snoring as we found out later. Now we know a lot more. He went to see his doctor who then referred him to a sleep specialist who did quite a few test including sleeping tests etc. He then was diagnosed with sleep apnea. This is a condition that you snore and it closes your throat which in turn you do not breath anymore which can be quite dangerous and people can die from it. The solution was, he received a cpap machine which works like a mask and keep your airways open during the night so that you can breathe. Sleep apnea is usually a condition which mostly is for overweight males and females, but more males are diagnosed with it.Not only had my husband the machine and he did not snore anymore, but he also lost 100 pounds which then was the result of not needing that cpap machine anymore as the fat around his neck was gone. And that is usually the main reason for males and some females to snore.
I am glad we did pursue this issue and did go to a specialist. Many people don't do that but you should really consider it.
