Homeopathic Remedy Acid Reflux

Q.My mate snores really bad. he won't use throat sprays or strips, and just won't close his mouth. he sounds like a freight train with a steam engine and my nerves can't take it anymore! i run a loud box fan as close to my ears as possible, and i play a CD with rain sounds, and his snores keep hitting a bad nerve in my ear and wakes me up and keeps me up. ear plugs make my ears echoe wierdly so i gave that up. if i sleep in another room or ask him to, he gets all depressed like he knows he isn't doing it on purpose, and i know that. i take Zantac for my heartburn and Benadryl for my allergies every night, and feel so doped up, but still offers no relief for my nerves. i can't afford to see a doctor to get medication that i also can't afford. i feel that if and when i do get a good nights sleep, i am not nearly so nervous and anxious, and that is not that often. he thinks he may have sleep apnea, but also refuses to see a doctor cause of our finances. his snoring is constant, no breaks, but is obnoxious. Can anyone in the group help my friend please? He really wants to find out a Homeopathic Remedy Acid Reflux

A.Several surgical procedures are available for treating chronic snoring. These include: •Uvulopalathopharyngoplasty (UPPP), a surgical procedure which involves removing excess throat tissues (e.g., tonsils, parts of the soft palate) to expand the airway. •Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) uses a surgical laser to remove part of the uvula and palate. •Palatal stiffening is a minimally-invasive surgical technique where a laser or a cauterizer is used to produce scar tissue in the soft palate in order to stop the vibrations that produce snoring. •Radiofrequency ablation is another technique which uses scarring to shrink the uvula and/or soft palate. A needle electrode is used to shrink and scar the mouth and throat tissues. Alternative treatment There are a number of remedies for snoring, but few are proven clinically effective. Popular treatments include: •Mechanical devices. Many splints, braces, and other devices are available which reposition the nose, jaw, and/or mouth in order to clear the airways. Other devices are designed to wake an individual when snoring occurs. Patients should consult a dentist or orthodontist about these devices, as most require custom fitting. In addition, persons with certain types of gum disease or dental problems should not be fitted with oral appliances to stop snoring. •Nasal strips. Nasal strips that attach like an adhesive bandage to the bridge of the nose are available at most drugstores, and can help stop snoring in some individuals by opening the nasal passages. •Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Some chronic snorers find relief by sleeping with a nasal mask which provides air pressure to the throat. •Decongestants. Snoring caused by nasal congestion may be successfully treated with decongestants. Some effective herbal remedies that clear the nasal passages include golden rod (Solidago virgauria ) and golden seal (Hydrastis canadensis ). Steam inhalation of essential oils of eucalyptus blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus ) or peppermint (Mentha x piperata ) can also relieve congestion. •Weight loss. Snoring thought to be caused by excessive weight may be curtailed by a sensible weight loss and exercise program.
