Doctor's opinion

It should be clearly understood that for today "pills from snoring" does not exist. There is no such means, which would lead to muscle tone of the larynx and pharynx, would reduce adenoids and tonsils. All drugs on sale and claimed by manufacturers and sellers as drugs for snoring, in fact, apply either to dietary supplements (biologically active additives to food) or to homeopathic preparations.

Important! Supplements are not medicines and in principle are not capable of curing snoring. The effectiveness of homeopathic remedies has not been clinically proven.

Moreover, the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2017 issued an official statement, which states that treatment with ultra-small doses of various substances has no scientific basis, and homeopathy is even called pseudoscience.

1. To begin treatment it is necessary from the most effective way - disposal of superfluous kgs and increase in impellent activity. According to studies, a decrease in body weight by only 10% reduces the number of stops of breathing by 26%.
2. Also you need to give up harmful habits - smoking and alcohol.
3. In addition, you need to wean sleep on your back, since in this position snoring occurs more often and easier all.

Today, the only treatment method that affects the cause of snoring and really makes patients feel better is CIPAP therapy. The patient wears a special hermetic mask with a hose (as with inhalation anesthesia), through which air is supplied under pressure. Due to this, the walls of the laryngopharynx swell, its lumen expands, and air can pass through the respiratory tract unhindered. Permanent sleep in a mask may seem uncomfortable, but patients who are exhausted by a long sleep and sleepiness, easily reconcile with such discomfort. However, it must be remembered that CPAP therapy can only be recommended by a doctor after eliminating other possible causes of snoring.

Well, in the end, you can not escape from a visit to a specialist. If possible, it is best to contact a doctor-somnologist who specializes in sleep disorders. If this is not possible, then to the ENT doctor in order to identify adenoids, an increase in tonsils and other pathologies of ENT organs, which can be the cause of snoring. In addition to these specialists, a neurologist, an endocrinologist, a nutritionist can be connected to treatment. In some cases, surgical treatment may be recommended.
