Is
the unwelcome sound of snoring affecting your sleep? If you or your partner are
kept up late at night by the sound of chronic snoring, the problem could be
more than just lost sleep or embarrassment.
Snoring
is often a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) – a disorder which leads to
numerous, dangerous health conditions. Snoring occurs when the free
flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose becomes
obstructed. This causes turbulent air flow which produces vibrations,
generating the unpleasant sound of snoring.
