Question 5 Answer
Fiction!
Unfortunately, you have no conscious control
over snoring. More than 300 devices are registered in the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office as cures for snoring, including head straps, neck collars and
mouth pieces. If these devices work, it is probably because they keep the snorer
awake.
Snoring is often a sign of obstructed breathing, and this obstruction can be
serious. However, the majority of snorers can be helped through lifestyle
changes and medical treatment. Contact an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon
for a complete evaluation.
