Hi all, I did a Snorelab test for a week and found that elevating my head slightly reduces my snoring significantly - Snorelab score of 1-5.
My partner has concurred the elevation helps, as previously my snoring was an issue. However, I am stacking a soft pillow on top of my memory foam pillow. It works but I wake up with a sore neck.
Has anyone used any single pillow which elevated their head enough but not cause sore neck? I have saw the wedge pillows, but was thinking of traditional pillows first.
Alternatively, I have considered an adjustable bed base. Currently considering the King Living Jasper bed. The adjustable one is $1.5k more than the standard base. Pillows are cheaper so keen to try that out first.
Any recommendations appreciated, thanks.
I wish I could find a solution to this.
But for a completely different medical reason.
The sphincter at the stomach end of my oesophagus was damaged by a side effect of medication, and when I lie down and try to get to sleep I get gastic reflux that causes enough pain in my throat that its hard to get to sleep. I only can by going to sleep for a couple of hours in a reclining armchair, until my stomach empties, then moving into bed.
I've come to suspect as I get old that the reason old people take so many different medications is that doctors really don't give a stuff about what side effects they have, they just look at whether it improves whatever they prescribed it for. They give you one medication for something, it causes something else, so they give you something for that, but that causes something else again, so they give you another something for that, and it goes on.
