What Causes Snoring While Sleeping?
After years of never snoring, suddenly I have begun to. No apnea. Trying an elastic brace that holds my chin up. Hubby says breathing thru mouth and snoring on exhale. Is there a medically approved chin brace available. I’m using an OTC chin brace bought on Amazon. Just turned 68, tall and not overweight (145lbs.)

Hello,
I am of the opinion that you could probably use nasal clips and also before sleeping at night you could put 2 drops of nasal saline solution which is available OTC. If snoring is still present kindly visit an otorhinolaryngologist to rule out deviated nasal septum and other problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
