Snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness are indications of obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder that limits respiratory airflow and intermittently disrupts breathing.
Obstructive sleep apnea may put your heart at risk if left untreated and is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, strokes and signs of cardiovascular disease. Treating obstructive sleep apnea can decrease the risks for cardiovascular disease and improve heart performance.
What causes snoring?
Snoring occurs when the structures in the throat are large and when muscles relax enough to cause the airway to narrow and partially obstruct the air flow. As the air passes through these obstructions, these structures vibrate producing the snoring sound.
Large tonsils, a long soft palate and uvula and excess fat deposits contribute to airway narrowing.
