• Do you / your partner suffer from noisy breathing during sleep? Do you know it’s snoring? Yes, Snoring is nothing but noisy breathing made due to the presence of any obstruction/ blockage in the airway that causes vibrations in the soft tissues of the nose, mouth, and throat creating a harsh sound of snoring.
• Do you want to blow your nose constantly? It may be because of the obstructed airway that gives you difficulty breathing through the nose. Children with obstructed airways are noticed sitting with their mouth open and breathing through the mouth- this may be due to enlarged adenoids/ tonsils/ both. You may feel drowsy and sleepy all the time with poor concentration on your work. Many people with sleep apnoea having obstructed nose have a tendency to sleep in between conversations/ during meetings.
• Well, these are signs you should opt for the treatment of snoring. Snoring may lead to strain on your heart, high blood pressure, and a higher risk of stroke. Snoring causes poor oxygen levels in your body which gives you fatigue all throughout the day and you don’t feel fresh. A recent study shows that people who tend to snore may develop Type-2 Diabetes.
• Have you ever thought of “What causes Snoring?” here are a few for your knowledge:
  • Allergies, colds, flu, irritants/ pollutants present in the air that you breathe and sinus infections create blockage in the nasal cavity.
  • Deviated Nasal Septum.
  • Nasal Polyps.
  • Chronic rhinitis.
  • Swelling of Adenoids (In Children).
  • Those who are on muscle relaxants and sedatives tend to snore as their tongue and throat muscles also become relaxed after taking those medicine and hinder the airflow.
  • Those who have structural differences in nose/ mouth/ throat such as the longer soft palate and/or uvula- narrow the opening from your nose to your throat, causing vibration and snoring sounds.
  • If you are consuming alcohol, then you develop a tendency to snore as your throat muscles get relaxed after alcohol consumption.
  • If due for any reason, you have sleepless nights, it causes relaxation of throat muscles, and a tendency to snore develops.
  • Sleep position matters a lot in patients who snore: snoring is typically the most frequent and loudest when sleeping on the back as gravity’s effect on the throat narrows the airway while sleeping on the sides eases airway blockage and prevents snoring.
  • If you are obese, you are likely to snore because excess body fat puts pressure on the soft tissues of the nose and throat and makes them bulky that compressing the airway which in turn causes snoring.
