What Causes Snoring?
Snoring happens when airflow through the mouth or nose is partially blocked during sleep. The resulting vibration of soft tissues creates that familiar sound. While occasional snoring is common, chronic or loud snoring may indicate a deeper issue—like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Snoring and Sleep Apnea: What’s the Connection?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a serious condition where breathing stops multiple times throughout the night. Most people with sleep apnea snore—but not all snorers have sleep apnea. A sleep study is the best way to know for sure.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Chronic Snoring
Heart Disease
Poor sleep strains cardiovascular health
High Blood Pressure
Oxygen drops during apnea events
Mood & Mental Health
Irritability, anxiety, and depression
Workplace & Driving Risk
