Snoring
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Snoring is the sound produced during sleep when air passes through the airways and vibrates the tissues of the throat. It is very common, although at times it can be a sign that something is interfering with breathing during sleep.
Influencing factors: sleeping position, nasal congestion, certain characteristics of the airways, and other habits.
When should you see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when snoring is loud and constant, is accompanied by pauses in breathing, or by fatigue during the day.
The otolaryngologist studies the upper airways and the pulmonologist evaluates breathing during sleep. If snoring affects your rest or that of those around you, it is worth discussing it with a specialist.
