What is Snoring about?

Caused by narrowing of the upper airways, snoring is the mildest and most pervasive form of sleep-related breathing disorder. The resultant noise can be very disruptive to the bed partner or family member. More importantly, snoring without associated sleep apnea may increase cardiac, neurologic, and endocrine morbidity in adults and children. Risk factors include obesity, large neck circumference, nasal congestion, and certain craniofacial features. History from a bed partner or family member may be sufficient to diagnose this problem, but to rule out underlying sleep apnea, a sleep study is usually required. Treatment options include conservative measures such as minimizing supine sleep, weight loss, and improving nasal patency. More involved treatment options include using an oral appliance or a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, or upper airway surgery.
