Man do I know where you're coming from on this one! I had the exact same situation going!. I made an appointment with a sleep lab and, surprisingly, my husband agreed to go!. He has sleep apnea!. It can cause serious health issues (not to mention losing your mind listening to the noise)!. They fit my husband with this mask thing that he sleeps with and there is absolutely no snoring now!. Tell your husband that he is at great health risk if he doesn't get help!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
He should see his doctor, who should recommend him for a sleep study!. Once he does that, depending on what is causing the snoring, they will apply treatment!. Could be sleep apnea (very dangerous), and they will give him a mask to wear while sleeping!. If it is a deviated septum, it may require nasal surgery!. If it is his weight causing it, exercise and watching what he eats will take time and patience for both of you!
