There are lots of reasons why people snore.
Some of the common reasons attributed to snoring are age and excess weight.
However, some people have enlarged palates at the top of their throats so that regardless of their weight, how they fall asleep, on their back or on their side, they end up still snoring as loudly as ever.
If you know such people, you cannot prescribe the tennis ball anti snoring remedies for their condition because they won't work; not even the stop snoring devices will be effective in such specific cases.
The only snoring resolution for such patients would be surgery to reduce the size of their organs, and tighten the muscles in their throats.
For those who have dire fears of surgeries, I have some words of encouragement - fear not! Medical science and technology has advanced so much the last fifty years that things that were scary as surgery are not so scary again.
The many complications of the past have now reduced greatly, so much so that there are now more successful cases than unsuccessful cases.
But of course, ensure that you talk to your doctor to find the best stop snoring surgery for your condition, based on the cause of the snoring you are suffering from.
No matter how much you think you know or how much you have been told about snoring, your doctor's guide and help is certainly in order.
You shouldn't neglect your doctor's advice, especially if he's really a professional doctor.
