    Snoring - useful info?

    That’s awesome that you are concerned. I would like to think most people realize one does not snore on purpose so no one should be giving you a cold shoulder about it.

    Ibuprofen considerations

    Any over the counter or holistic medication should be taken only after speaking about it to your Professional Medical Practitioner.
