How do I stop snoring?...

...Does anyone know how I can stop snoring? I’m a younger single guy and I would really like to stop snoring! I’ve been snoring for years now and it gets in the way of my personal life… I get embarrassed to have women sleep over because I’m afraid the snoring will keep them up all night. I try to sleep on my side but it doesn't seem to help, I just can’t seem to stop snoring. It’s also very loud and I’ve been told I stop breathing sometimes. In college I even had to have a single dorm room because no roommate would put up with my loud snoring...

Can anybody help me stop snoring?

"You might want to check the problem with the ENT doctor. Every single person is quite unique physiologically and therefore it might be a bit hard to answer that question until you know for sure what might be the cause. Usually, snoring occurs when the little part called uvula is vibrating due to decrease in the area of the tracheal path. The uvula can also contribute to snoring or heavy breathing during sleep; having an elongated uvula can cause vibrations which lead to snoring. Pretty much snoring on its own sounds like there is some blockage of the tracheal path when you are breathing. For right now you could try some nasal strips, which could ease your condition. The ENT doctor should be able to examine your physiology of your throat. Also, you might want to ask your doctor for a sleep study, which will give answers as to why you might be snoring so loud. If you have anxiety to sleeping in foreign places such as a sleep clinic, I know of a company called Central Sleep Diagnostics, where they come out to your home and you get to sleep in the comfort of your own bed."
