How can a doctor check the reasons of snoring?
Hello,
My friend and me have a problem due to his snore. I really do love him, however it’s incredibly strenous to wake up during night due to the noise he makes. I’m quiet sure, that one’s able to find out the reasons for snoring, yet how is that done and does anyone know how much it costs? I don’t want to switch to the couch, but I’m tired of being awake when all I really want is just to sleep.
Thanks in advance.

Yes they can.
The main reason people snore very loudly, is due to a number of reasons;
Being over weight
Drinking alcohol
Smoking
Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
Sinus problems such as allergies
Does your friend stop breathing in the night, do they complain of feeling tired all the time, does he often doze of to sleep through the day?
If so he needs to be assessed by a sleep clinic, to rule out sleep apnoea or some other sleeping disorder. These conditions can and do cause health problems, and can be exacerbated by the above reasons. He will need to see his regular doctor for a referral to the sleep clinic.
There is also a home diagnostic kit, which means the person being tested in their own home. Frees up hospital beds, not hooked up to machines, sleeping in your own home. This kit is smallish and you have to have a few leads, one on the finger, nasal cannula, two elastic bands with leads to the main kit, which is strapped around the waist, and on the upper chest, and the kit rest in the centre of the chest or waist.
I have just last night used such a diagnostic kit. The Embletta pds. So it will be interesting to see what the results are.
Your friend can go to a sleep clinic. He should probably look into his snoring problem because it’s quite possible that he suffers from a condition called sleep apnea which is rather dangerous.
Snoring generally indicates some sort of blockage, often from the tongue. Advise him to sleep on his side and check out a sleep clinic.
Most health insurance coverage will pay for a sleep study, since the health problems from an untreated sleep disorder can cost the insurance a lot more than the diagnosis and treatment.
