Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Dear Saruj I am a novice myself but I do know that Yoga can change breathing problems. So can lifestyle changes, and a trip to the doctor. Your boyfriend may be suffering from a medical condition called sleep apnea, or allergies, or insomnia. Be patient with each other.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Snoring is a complex issue. It could be a serious medical issue that washing out your nose, your sinuses or even doing pranayam may not completely take care of the problem. I have sleep apnea which causes me to snore rather loudly and stop breathing. Until I went to my doctor and got a sleep study, I didn't realize that I stopped breathing every 30 seconds all night long. I have tried pranayam in many forms, methods and other gadgets. I use a machine - CPAP - that keeps my air passages open so I don't snore or stop breathing. There are surgical methods that help people that snore as well. This issue is hard on relationships, as I know first hand. It is a very painful, emotional issue as well, not just for the person that is hearing the snoring, but for the person snoring. The snorer, in most cases does not want to snore, especially at the cost of a relationship. The snorer snores because that is as natural as not snoring for the non-snorer. In a relationship it is tricky because the person that snores has probably been told over and over about his/her problem. The person who can't sleep because of the snoring is frustrated. Many times the snorer has tried sleeping on their side, snoring strips, losing weight, yoga, meditation, whatever to no avail and still they snore. The person that gets rejected because of snoring becomes very sensitive around this issue. This problem may not have a simple fix. These kinds of relationship issues require a lot of compassion. My uncle snored like a freight train. I asked my aunt how she lived with it. She said it always gave her comfort that he was there right beside her.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hi! Thank you very much for your answers... Especially the remark from Jai Jot about his aunt touch me a lot. It is probably what my beloved boy-friend expected from me. Acceptance. I didn't realized it, just wanted him to change. I was very impatient and as usual too spontanuous and too fast and not very relax. He left me. I am very sad now, full of regret. I feel very guilty. It is not that easy for me to live with myself everyday :-) Thank you. Sat Nam Saruj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
