Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern snoring can be very distressing and embarrassing, especially when it affects others around you. It usually happens due to partial blockage in the airway during sleep, which may occur from nasal congestion, being overweight, or sleeping position issues.
Advices
Try to sleep on your side instead of on your back, as this reduces airway obstruction.
Maintain a healthy weight and avoid late-night heavy meals or alcohol.
Keep your bedroom air slightly humid and use a pillow that keeps your head slightly elevated.
What to Monitor
If you experience pauses in breathing or wake up gasping for air.
Whether you feel excessive daytime sleepiness, dry mouth, or sore throat after waking up.
Management
You may use saline nasal drops before sleeping to keep your nasal passages open.
Avoid self-medicating beyond this, as long-term snoring could indicate a condition called sleep apnea that may require evaluation once you are able to consult.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If snoring is accompanied by choking or breathlessness during sleep.
If you feel very tired even after a full nightâs rest.
If there is morning headache or difficulty concentrating during the day.
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, it is important to discuss your medical history and symptoms in detail.
You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where you will receive
A personalized treatment plan
Safe medicine adjustments if required
Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
