Snoring is dangerous to your heath and relationship…
Snoring is dangerous for relationships because staying awake night after night listening to your loved snoring (and sleeping) can be seriously irritating and disgusting…
The conflict between spouses begins with sleep deprivation, when a non-snoring partner suffers insomnia, leading to irritability and spats within the family. In many homes, over 50% of the snorers sleep alone in a separate room, which further creates distance between the couples.
Snoring is dangerous for health because it could be sleep apnea which can become a life-threatening disease and cause a severe health issue…
Snoring causes sleep deprivation which can make a person lose concentration when driving, or crossing a busy road. It can also lead to serious health problems such as a stroke, heart attack or nervous breakdown.
The good news is, there is a cure for snoring. If you are reading this, you are probably determined to help yourself and/or your partner. You might already have tried several ways to cure the snore. You are probably desperate for a full night’s sleep…
First, let’s just look at what causes snoring:
- Obesity is a major cause of snoring.
- Snoring can be a result of some kind of blockage somewhere in the breathing passage. This blockage causes the airflow to become irregular. This forced breathing causes the soft tissues in your breathing passage to vibrate – making that horrible snoring sound.
- The loudest snoring occurs when the soft palate (at the back of your mouth, behind your rear teeth) vibrates. In the worst cases, the tip of the soft palate can begin beating on the tongue, like a drum.
- Your tongue could even be falling back into your throat. You can probably see by now that curing snoring can be difficult.
- Although a blockage in the breathing pathway causes snoring, the size and type of the blockage can vary – and some people can have more than one blockage. Here are a few potential causes of your snoring.
- Some sufferers have a weak throat, which falls in when they sleep. These people often suffer from sleep apnea.
- Some sufferers have a weak tongue. The tongue falls back into the throat, thereby causing a blockage. This is most commonly found with people who sleep on their back – although it can also happen if you sleep on your side.
- Tension in the jaw can cause pressure on and narrowing of the breathing passages. Many people suffering from tension in the jaw are so used to it that they are unaware of it unless, or until, they start to relax that tension.
Some sufferers have a weak and floppy soft palate. This can literally flap around like a leaf blowing in the wind. Sometimes these sufferers resort to surgery to remove part of the soft palate…
This isn’t necessary. Exercising it correctly a few times every day will firm it up and stop it flopping about. No muscle in the body works alone. They are all connected. Tension in the neck and shoulder area increases pressure around the throat area.
Lastly, something building up in your throat acts as a dam, restricting your breathing passages. This is most commonly caused by deposits of fat or by smoking, or perhaps by an allergy affecting the nasal passages.

Those who have tried and failed to lose weight using diet modification and exercise can find success using surgical methods such as bariatric weight loss surgery. The word “Bariatric” comes by the Greek words “baros,” and “iatrike,” meaning weight and treatment, respectively. There are 2 basic types of bariatric surgery: restriction procedures and malabsorption procedures, otherwise known as gastric bypass surgery.
Bypass surgery does not only cure obesity, but it also helps improve the following health-related issues:
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Regulate high blood pressure:
- Restore the blood cholesterol to normal: Type 2 diabetes
- Reduced risk of heart disease
- Reversal of borderline diabetes.
What if snoring persists after bypass surgery? If it happens, try the following:
- Regular body exercise is highly recommended.
- Breathing problems can often be treated with throat sprays or nasal sprays. If it is serious, you should get in touch with your doctor for help.
- Quit Smoking. But it depends on the severity of your condition as well as the location and magnitude of the obstructions in the respiratory tract, consult your doctor.
- Stop taking medications that relax your body. Taking a sleeping pill at night increases both the risk of snoring and health. This can even include ibuprofen and paracetamol.
- Since sleeping position could also trigger snoring, try to change your sleeping position. This is probably the easiest to do.
- Raise your head when on the bed, this could be properly handled by using a pillow.
