Snoring is a common condition that can affect anybody. It occurs more frequently in men than women. It occurs in overweight individuals and it sometimes worsens with age. Occasional snoring may be caused by fatigue. Constant or habitual snoring may be caused by obstructed nasal airway, poor muscle tone in the throat and tongue, bulky throat tissue, long soft palate and uvula.
Snoring may lead to health problems like light sleeping, may cause heart problems, high blood pressure and may put an individual at risk for stroke. Poor night sleep as a result of snoring may cause daytime sleepiness and put a person at risk for accidents. It may also interfere with a persons daily activity.
A person may require life style changes like loosing weight and quitting smoking to correct habitual snoring problems.
If you begin to wake up with headaches, having trouble staying awake, and experiencing daytime sleepiness, consult with your doctor.
You may need to have a sleep study for a Cpap machine or surgical intervention to correct the cause of snoring.
