Snoring
Snoring is loud, hoarse, or harsh breathing sounds that happen while you are asleep. Snoring affects about half of men and 25 percent of women — most age 40 or older. It occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe, creating hoarse or harsh sounds. When to seek medical advice You may not be aware that you snore, but your bed partner likely is. Seeing your doctor about your snoring can benefit both of you. For you, snoring may indicate another health concern, such as sleep apnea, nasal obstruction or obesity. For your partner, your seeking medical advice about your snoring may result in being able to get a restful night of sleep. If your child snores, ask your pediatrician about the problem. Nose and throat problems and obesity often underlie habitual snoring in children. Treating these conditions could help your child sleep better at night.
