Snoring Monster

Wow! Thank you for the site. I tried the tests and I think the problem is due to my nasal stuffiness. I have been having allergic rhinitis lately. I think it's because of the season, but I've had allergic rhinitis before and nobody complained that I snored so I never considered it as a factor. I am gathering as many reasons for snoring as possible because I think I am undergoing a lot of stress lately and I'm gaining weight too so I want to learn as much as I could.

I am actually doing exercise daily and maybe I'd double my efforts tomorrow. I only use one pillow, but maybe I need a plumper one though. Thanks a lot for the help. I rated you positive for each helpful replies. :)

i was going to mention weight gain but i didn't want to come across as being rude, some people are very sensitive to this, but now that you have mentioned it, this can cause snoring, also your pillows...how many do you use? at times when your laying flat on your back or if your neck is not supported by good pillows this can cause snoring, also if the pillows are not plump any more, there is also a little flap of skin inside the roof of the mouth you can feel it if you touch the top of the roof of your mouth, it feels pretty soft and flexible, if you gain weight this part gains too, usually it's tight like a drum and sometimes it does vibrate when you gain weight, maybe you should see a doctor about snoring, or maybe lose some weight, i found that i woke myself up snoring when i gained some weight, i am losing weight again now and i don't snore any more

Thank you for the information. I've never heard that highblood pressure can cause snoring. Well I will check my blood pressure later. I am a nursing student so I have a BP apparatus. I hope the finding is not high BP because I think I'm to young for such problem. Huhu. I will sleep on my sides tonight.

You're right! I'm embarrassed to attend sleepovers and slumber parties now! But yes, it is normal. I realized maybe I got it from my parents since both of them snore when they sleep, but it's still embarrassing, right? I mean it's just fine if we're big boys but we're just pretty little dainty girls! Hahaha.

It is indeed kinda embarrassing for a girl to snore. Hehehe.. But a lot of mylotters think it is normal and so the two of us need not worry. Sorry if I made you paranoid with the relationship of snoring and heart problems. My bad.

Well thank you for the link. I just finished reading it. So far the causes are almost similar. But I was a bit struck on a part in the article that says snoring can severe relationships. Somehow a question popped into my mind: Can snoring cause divorce perhaps?

Oh, that's good then. So, it's not because of any critical illness.

Well I think I won't go to the doctor. Because I'm kinda embarrassed to go to the doctor for my snoring. But I am changing my sleep position and I'm also trying to sleep early. Plus my sorethroat and allergic rhinitis is gone. I think it's working because my sister's not complaining anymore.

Well lucky for you as your friends don't make fun of you. Unlucky for me I have a mischievous little sister. Hehehe. I think she recorded it as evidence in case I don't believe her. Well maybe it is just pure exhaustion for now coupled with my respiratory problem. Thanks for the reply.

Well I think my allergic rhinitis could be a possible reason as I am having very stuffy nose at the moment. But I was wondering why just now? I've had allergic rhinitis since I could remember but my snoring just happened now. Maybe it is multifactorial.

Well yes it's true. I'm kinda exhausted lately because of the graduation rush. There are a lot of requirements and clearances to be signed. I feel so stressed out and when I am stressed I eat a lot so I gain some weight. Then to make it worse, I have allergic rhinitis and tonsillitis.
