WHY DOES SNORING HAPPEN?
Snoring occurs when your upper airways narrow too much, causing turbulent airflow. This then makes the surrounding tissues vibrate, producing noise.
SNORING CAUSES:
Many things can cause snoring. Causes can include:
* being overweight
* alcohol
* medications - like sleeping pills
* very low soft palate
* nasal and sinus problems
* smoking
* enlarged adenoids, tonsils
* hormonal changes - pregnancy, menopause
IS SNORING SERIOUS?
Snoring may be a sign of sleep apnea, which can cause you to stop breathing during your sleep. If you think that is happening to you, please see your doctor for further tests.
