re: Need Help To Stop Snoring

You might try an ear, nose, & throat specialist. Something like a deviated septum could cause issues like snoring. One of my coworkers was having issues like you described. The guy was young, in shape, but snored bad according to him. He was tested for sleep apnea but that wasn’t the issue. This guy had a procedure done where something was shoved up each nostril, the device was pumped up, and pulled out. I don’t know exactly sure how all that works but he said it fixed the problem. Said it was not all that painful either.

I had the rotor rooter surgery a couple years ago. It helped a little bit, and I don’t use my CPAP although I probably should
1. Resection of soft palate and uvula
2. Remove tonsils
3. Straighten septum
4. Resect turbinates
Not sure I would do it again, and I wouldn’t wish the pain and recovery on my worst enemy, but I don’t regret it.
I knew what I was getting myself into and I was warned but it was 10x’s worse than what they said it would be

I know the procedure you are referring to. I had the traditional sinus surgery that was a miserable recovery. Didn’t produce the results that were promised.
I went back to see about the other surgery. It is outpatient. The Dr gives you a local and goes up the nostrils with the camera and balloon device. The balloon is placed in the sinus drains and expanded. It’s on YouTube and you can hear the small pops. Mostly it is just a minor nose bleed afterwards. Alas, I was not a candidate as the drains were open.
There are now idiots putting an actual balloon up their nose and quickly expanding it. If they can’t deflate the balloon quickly you can see the patient/victim struggling to breathe.
