Snoring often comes from a blocked nose (deviated nasal septum) Occasionally
Flixonase last thing at night helps. If surgery is contemplated, the nose
ought to be checked first (septoplasty) as it is much less traumatic than
the other option of Uvulopalatoplasty, ie belt and braces on the soft
palate, which is incredibly painful for about a week. Often works though!
