Stop Snoring
Question by texaschic100: Will wearing a neck brace at night help me to stop snoring?
I read that the neck brace will help keep the neck extended and will prevent snoring. I snore when lying on my back and also when I sleep on my side so those pillows that make you flip over to your side won’t help. Last night, I woke myself up the noise was so loud and I had sharp pains in my chest. My heart was pounding really fast and I was completely out of breath. I am scared this will keep happening and start affecting my health.

Maybe, but there is another product called Slumber Guard that you could try that might help you better

You need to have a sleep study performed! More than likely you are not only snoring, but based on your symptoms you may be having apneas (stop breathing) as well. If you are waking up gasping then it is not just snoring and there isn’t anything on the market that is going to help with that. The only proven effective treatment for sleep apnea and snoring is Cpap. If you leave this condition untreated you can look forward to heart failure, high blood pressure, low oxygen levels, stroke and so on. This is not to be left untreated. Go and see a board certified sleep physician and get this checked out before you have worse health issues later. I have answered many of this type of question if you want to look through my answers. Good Luck!

I haven’t had much luck with it. What does seem to help is avpiding all dairy foods and using a warm-mist humidifier at night. Whatever you do to stop snoring, it’s worth it. Snoring has been linked to a 67% increased risk of stroke.

Never thought of that but sounds like it might work. Couldn’t hurt.
Get a sleep study done but in the meantime try the brace. Who knows it just might work. If you can sleep like that.
