What Causes Snoring?
Snoring occurs when airflow through the nose and mouth is obstructed, leading to turbulent air that causes vibrations and those familiar snoring sounds. This can interrupt your rest, your partner’s rest, and potentially lead to serious health issues.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder where breathing temporarily stops during sleep. This can cause morning headaches, reduced mental function, and a loss of sex drive. More severe consequences include high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and an increased risk of stroke or heart attack.
How Are Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treated?
Often, snoring and sleep apnea are linked to nasal or sinus problems. Swelling from allergies, nasal polyps, or sinusitis can obstruct airflow. Changes or abnormalities in the tongue or throat can also contribute to these issues.
To accurately diagnose the causes of your sleep apnea and snoring, a thorough evaluation by a specialist is essential.
