                     What causes snoring, different 
Snoring remedies
Snoring is a sound that occurs when sleeping as airflow causes the 
tissues in the back of the
throat to vibrate. The sound of snoring usually occurs as you inhale, 
and it can happen any time
while you sleep. Half the population snores at some point, though 
snoring is more common in
men than women, it can run in families, and it happens more 
frequently as we age.
What are the common causes of snoring?
• There are several causes for snoring.
• Being overweight or obese
• Pregnancy
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Congestion from colds or the flu
• Nasal deformities (such as a deviated septum or nasal polyps)
• Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
• A long soft palate or long uvula
• Drinking alcohol
• Muscle relaxants and other drugs
• Smoking
• Aging
• Sleep position (usually sleeping on your back)
What are the signs and symptoms of snoring?
Snoring can be a symptom of common conditions such as allergies 
or asthma. But it also can be a symptom of a serious medical 
condition called obstructive sleep apnea in which a person stops 
breathing intermittently during sleep. A person with sleep apnea 
may snore loudly or make choking noises as they try to breathe. 
The body becomes deprived of oxygen, and a person may wake up 
from it. When severe, this can happen hundreds of times during 
the night or when sleeping at other times during the day. Sleep 
apnea is associated with a higher risk for
• high blood pressure,
• heart disease,
• stroke,
• obesity, and
• type 2 diabetes.
What are different snoring remedies? 
• If you're living with someone who snores, the first step is making 
sure they know they snore (if they are not awakened by their 
snoring they may not be aware of it). Next, encourage them to 
visit a doctor to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. 
You also can help your partner track their snoring habits if the doctor 
needs a sleep journal. They may try some of the home remedies 
mentioned previously to stop snoring. In the meantime, sharing a 
bed with a snorer can be exhausting. To take care of yourself:
Use earplugs
• Try a white noise machine
• Try going to bed before your partner – if you're already asleep 
maybe you won't hear them. Consider sleeping in separate 
bedrooms. This is often the last resort and a personal decision for 
partners. 
• What kinds of doctors treat snoring?
Many kinds of doctors treat snoring, depending on the underlying 
cause. You may first consult your primary care providers (PCP) such 
as a family practitioner or internist, or a child's pediatrician.
For further testing and management of snoring or sleep disorders 
such as sleep apnea, you may be referred to a sleep medicine 
specialist.
Allergies may be treated by an allergist, and asthma may be treated 
by a lung specialist (pulmonologist) or respiratory therapist. 
• If you have nasal deformities such as a deviated 
septum or nasal polyps you may see an ear, 
nose, and throat specialist (ENT, or 
otolaryngologist), and if you require removal of 
your tonsils, or adenoids you may be referred 
to a general surgeon. Sometimes an oral 
appliance is helpful to help stop the snoring.
