Snoring problem
I have been snoring for a short time. This problem has come up in the past couple of months. My wife has to face this more than anyone else. I have tried taking the pillow off which helps a little. But I wake up many times if I don't use a pillow. Sleep patterns have changed because of this. Sleeping on the side helps but while sleeping I go back on my back. Please suggest a remedy or treatment. I am currently working on losing some weight hoping to solve this once and for all but that's a slow process. In the meantime two people are sleep deprived. Please help.

Snoring happens due to vibration of lax tissues of your nose and throat.
You need to meet an ENT Surgeon who subspecializes in Surgeries to manage Sleep Disordered Breathing.

If possible, come down to Bangalore and meet me at my clinic Healthcare@Basaveshwaranagar with any existing clinical records.
