What is Snoring

Snoring is loud, heavy constant breathing sound while you sleep.Although it is more common in men and overweight people, it is a common disease that can affect anyone. Snoring will deteriorate with age. Snoring once in a while isn’t usually a serious problem. This can be troublesome for your bed mate. However, if you are a long-term hit, you will not only disturb the sleep style of those around you, but also damage your sleep quality. Snoring itself may be a symptom of health problems such as obstructive sleep apnea. If you snore often or loudly, you may need medical help so that you (and your loved ones) can sleep well.

What causes snoring

Medical research knows that any pronunciation needs to pass through the activities of various muscles in the oral cavity, nasal cavity and pharyngeal cavity, and only when the airflow passes through the various shaped cavities formed by various muscles. When speaking, people rely on the airflow to strike the gap between the vocal cords (two small muscles) of the larynx, and then the lip, tongue, cheek, and jaw muscles are combined to form cavities of various shapes, so that different initials are emitted when the sound passes And the finals form the language. During sleep, the muscles of the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaws cannot be arbitrarily matched to form various cavities, but always leave a large channel-the throat (pharynx), if this channel becomes narrow, it becomes a gap Then, when the airflow passes, it will make a sound, which is snoring. So fat people, people with loose throat muscles, people with throat inflammation are the most likely to snore.

What are the symptoms of snoring?

Although most people who suffer from snoring are unaware of their condition until a loved one brings it to their attention, there are certain symptoms that may indicate that you are snoring as you sleep. Symptoms of snoring may include:

  • Difficulties concentrating
  • Having a sore throat
  • Being unable to sleep at night
  • Feeling tired and fatigued during the day

Treatments for snoring include:

  • Oral appliances: You wear a small plastic device in your mouth while you sleep. It keeps your airways open by moving your jaw or tongue.
  • Surgery: Several kinds of procedures can help stop snoring. Your doctor might remove or shrink tissues in your throat, or make your soft palate stiffer.
  • CPAP: A continuous positive airway pressure machine treats sleep apnea and might reduce snoring by blowing air into your airways while you sleep.
