Snoring
Snoring is the sound produced when breathing during sleep, when air vibrates over the relaxed tissues of the throat and nasopharynx. Although it is usually seen as something ordinary, it can signal an obstruction in the upper airway.
Common causes: nasal congestion, a deviated septum, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, excessive relaxation of the soft tissues, and factors such as being overweight or sleeping on your back.
When is it advisable to review it? If snoring is very intense, is accompanied by pauses in breathing, daytime drowsiness, or unrefreshing sleep, it is advisable to seek guidance, since it could be related to sleep apnea.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist evaluates the airway and, depending on the case, the general practitioner or the pediatrician participates when it involves children. Assessing snoring with a professional helps in understanding its origin and protecting the quality of rest.
