Hi there! I'm Dr. Jack Snoring and I'm here to start a blog dedicated to cures for snoring. Hm, such a strange coincidence:) Step by step we'll consider the nature of snoring here, its causes, diagnosis and treatment and, of course, cures for snoring.
Snoring is an acoustic phenomenon that takes place when something obstructs the free flow of air somewhere between the openings of the nose and the wind pipe or trachea. The degree of the upper airway obstruction may be different. Partial collapse of the soft tissues of the upper airway produces a noise, which we refer to as snoring. In case of total obstruction of the collapsible airway a patient can experience a condition called apnea (or hypopnea).
Among the reason that cause snoring we may distinguish some anatomical abnormalities that lead to upper airway obstruction:
- nasal septum deformation,
- inborn narrowness of nasal meati and the gullet,
- nasal polyps,
- elongated uvula,
- small lower jaw and pathological occlusion,
- enlarged tonsils,
- obesity.
The sound of snoring causes big inconvenience for people arround. But snoring is not just a social problem (as many people consider it harmless in terms of health). It may be a symptom of one of the most dangerous respiratory diseases - obstructive sleep apnea. This makes the problem very acute. So one should give much attention to cures for snoring.
