Snore Care

Snoring is the sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including obesity, alcohol consumption, and certain medications. If you are concerned about your snoring, it is best to speak with your doctor to determine the underlying cause and explore treatment options.

Snoring is typically caused by a narrowed airway in the throat, which causes the tissues to vibrate as air flows past them. Some common causes of a narrowed airway include:

• Obesity: Excess weight can cause fatty tissue to accumulate in the throat, which can narrow the airway.
• Alcohol consumption: Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat, which can cause the airway to narrow.
• Smoking: Smoking can irritate and inflame the airway, leading to narrowing.
• Sleep position: Sleeping on your back can cause your tongue and soft palate to collapse to the back of your throat, which can narrow the airway.
• Nasal congestion: A blocked nose can cause you to breathe through your mouth, which can dry out the throat and cause snoring.
• Anatomy: Some people are born with a naturally narrow airway, or with a deviated septum which can cause snoring.
• Aging: As we age, the muscle tone in the throat decreases, and the risk of snoring increases.
