In addition to being a disturbance to others, excessive snoring can also pose a possible health hazard to the person with the condition. Snoring often is an indicator of difficulty breathing and can also lead to potential drowsiness, lack of focus, and distractibility during one’s awake hours. Fortunately, if you or one of your loved ones snores, there are several steps that can be taken to stop or reduce the snoring.
These steps include the following, which can be easily incorporated into almost anyone’s routine at their Lady Lake, Florida apartment:
• Elevating the head with an additional pillow
• Sleeping on one’s side as often as possible
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Getting regular exercise, especially cardiovascular exercise
• Opening breathing passages with nasal strips or other similar products
• Taking a decongestant before going to bed
If snoring persists even after taking some or all of these steps, consulting a physician for a professional opinion should come next. A doctor will not only be able to diagnose the causes of snoring and assess the seriousness of the situation, but can also prescribe additional treatments or medication to help put an end to the condition.
