Snoring is a highly common night-time problem that cannot be left unaddressed. It is a common occurrence in most men and women of all ages, and some more than others, but when it is regular, we need to consult a doctor.
Whilst occasional snoring can be due to drinking or exhaustion, and not that harmful, snoring regularly because of deeper reasons could be hampering your quality of sleep, affecting overall health. Also, with age the throat passage gets narrower which is why a lot of elderly people especially snore almost on constant bases.
It can be disconcerting when your partner is getting disturbed and losing sleep too. Good news is you don’t have to sleep in different bedrooms as there are effective solutions.
Snoring primarily happens when the air doesn’t pass freely though the nasal passage and throat during sleep, making the surrounding tissues vibrate producing the familiar sound. Once you understand what is causing you to snore, you could nix it. Usually a sleep doctor will ask you to keep a diary and ask your partner to note the pattern and frequency. The main reasons for snoring include age, weight gain, alcohol consumption, allergies and sinus problems. It is suggested not to sleep on your back if prone to snoring as it causes the flesh of the throat to relax and blocks the airway to some extent.
