Snoring is not a trivial matter! The causes of snoring

Although it is common for men to snore, it is a huge threat to health. Snoring not only leads to lack of sleep, but also easily affects others. Some men snore only because of occasional incorrect sleeping posture, but for most people, it is caused by other factors. Next, let's take a look at what causes snoring?

1. Obesity

Obese people have a lot of fat deposits in their bodies, especially in the face and neck, which can cause a lot of fat to attach to the soft palate and throat wall, which can cause the upper airway to narrow and lead to snoring. People who snore while sleeping are more likely to be obese.

2. Abnormal nose

Physiological abnormalities in the nose can cause snoring. For example, a deviated nasal septum and nasal polyps can cause the nose to narrow, resulting in airflow obstruction and snoring. Also, maxillofacial malformations, such as micromania, can cause airflow obstruction in the nasopharynx during breathing, which is more serious during sleep at night and causes snoring.

3. Throat diseases

In addition to nasal abnormalities, throat diseases can also cause snoring, such as tonsil hyperplasia, adenoids hyperplasia, adenoids hypertrophy, etc. These diseases cause the throat to narrow and breathing to be difficult, thus producing snoring.

4. Respiratory arrest

The characteristics of snoring caused by sleep apnea syndrome are: breathing with the mouth wide open during sleep, sometimes being repeatedly awakened by suffocation due to respiratory arrest, looking very tired when waking up, and sometimes having severe headaches. Its cause is related to the pathological changes and physiological abnormalities in the nasal cavity, tongue, throat, etc., and compared with snoring caused by other reasons, this degree is more serious.
