In short – you have 3 options:
Loosing weight
Surgery
Treating sleep apnea with CPAP (BiPAP) machine.
I think you have to start with CPAP, try loosing some weight and see how it is going.
Often this is related to being overweight, but not always. Doctors can prescribe a C-PAP machine which forces air into people with sleep apnea so they don’t stop breathing. Some people, regardless of their weight, have excess tissue at the back of their throats and have this surgically removed. Snoring can sometimes be eliminated with keeping the person off their back when they sleep. Weight loss can help in some cases. I hope whomever has this problem has had a polysomnogram performed (sleep study) to get an accurate diagnosis.
Hi there I don’t know how to stop it but if you have a facebook account why not comment on this page, what does your partner sound-like when they are sleeping?

This a very short question, but with very long answers.
Fortunately, there are a lot of methods to fight sleep apnea and snoring. However, before jumping to conclusions, you need to know what are the causes of your disorder. Although you can discover some of the causes, the best solution is to ask a sleep technician about this, or you should go to a sleep laboratory for more information.
A sleep study can help the doctors to prescribe the best treatment for you.
Your best bet to stop snoring is to try all of the free methods first: lie on your side when sleeping, have good sleep posture, exercise, eat healthy etc…
Once you have done all of this, evaluate any improvements. You may need your sleep partner to help you.
If you are still snoring then you then need to find out why. With the help of your sleep partner again, have them log your snoring! Seriously, you want to know the following: when you started snoring, where the noise is coming from exactly (throat, nose), were you breathing out of your mouth or nose, your sleep posture, how were you laying, and any other odd sleeping patterns.
Once you have done this for about a week, find some similarities. This will start to give you an idea of why you are snoring. You could suffer from sleep apnea, you could have extra tissue in the throat that is causing the snoring…
Hope this helps
