Is There Connection Between Snoring And Nasal Congestion?
I use ear plugs at night when I sleep, and because of this I’ve heard myself snore. And I have nasal congestion, so I wonder if there’s connection between snoring and nasal congestion. Your help is appreciated.
Yes, and keeping the nasal passages and sinuses clear helps reduce snoring. A big secret is that neck position has a big connection also. Keeping the neck in it’s normal alignment not only helps keep the sinuses and nasal passaga ways in the normal open position but putting the neck in it’s normal position helps keep away nerve pressure. Nerves that communicate to your sinuses and nasal passage ways.
Without going into too much detail, use this neck pillow when you sleep. You’ll have a pleasant surprise when you stop snoring: http://www.arc4life.com/site/615058/prod…

Absolutely there is a connection…just research it a bit. If it is problematic, you should see an Ears, Nose, and Throat specialist.
