Snoring

Snoring is the noise caused by the vibration of the tissues when air passes through the relaxed airway during sleep. The sleep quality of the snorer and the friends or family is affected. Snoring can also be indicative of obstructive sleep apnea. Causes include overweight, nose block due to infection, poor tongue and throat muscle tone, alcoholism, etc. Sleeping on the side with an elevated head position, reducing weight, avoiding alcohol and smoking are advised. Oral appliances to prevent airway obstruction are available. Snoring can affect heart health, increase blood pressure, and cause a stroke.
