What Causes Snoring?

Snoring is loud, vibrating breathing that occurs when you lie down and sleep. As you relax, the soft tissues in your mouth and throat can restrict your air passageways. When you breathe in, the moving air vibrates the soft tissue, producing a loud, harsh noise.

Although snoring is present among a very large part of the population, many people are unaware that they snore. It seldom wakes the person snoring, and often, people only find out from partners or family members sleeping nearby.

How Snoring Affects Your Life

Snoring can cause many different problems in your life and the lives of those around you, including sleepiness, lack of productivity, irritability, relationship problems, and loss of sleep.

Snoring can also lead to physical problems because of the sleep loss it causes, including stroke, heart attack, headaches, swollen extremities, night sweats, heart disease, heartburn, and a weakened immune system.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Snoring is also a symptom of sleep apnea, a health problem that can occur when the soft tissue of the throat collapses, much like when snoring, and prevents air from entering the lungs. This can limit the amount of oxygen entering the body while sleeping, and cause you to wake up throughout the night, often without even remembering it.

Sleep apnea and snoring can be very serious, and in some cases can even be life threatening. Dr. Bagga will evaluate your snoring, determine a potential reason, and discuss whether treatment can help you snore less, preventing serious health issues and relieving tension between family members affected by the snoring.
