Snoring and Health
Snoring is caused by a narrowing or partial blockage of your air way at the back of the mouth and upper throat. This obstruction results in increased air turbulence when breathing in, causing the soft tissues in your throat to vibrate. Larger the tissue, the more likely you are to snore while sleeping
Alcohol or sedatives taken before sleep also promote bad snoring so it’s best to not take these especially if you have previous problems with snoring.
Studies show that snoring problems increase with age, but that doesn’t mean that young people don’t snore.
 Snoring and Health Facts
- People who snore are more likely to be in car crashes than those who don’t
- 1/3 of pregnant women begin snoring for the first time during their second trimester. If you are snoring while pregnant, let your doctor know, it can affect the growth and development of the baby
- Children who snore typically have enlarged adenoids and tonsils. Studies show that children who snore are more likely to score lower on intelligence tests, memory tests and have poorer ability to maintain attention. Hyperactivity is more common in children who snore. You should have your child looked at by a doctor if they were to snore loudly and frequently
This was short but I hope you can now look at snoring in a more serious way! If you think your snoring is a problem, it is extremely wise to have it checked out with your doctor. Otherwise, it may give birth to a whole host of problems which will not be very pleasant.
