Troubled From Snoring?

Everybody can snore. Some do it everyday and some occasionally. Some people snore very loudly, which may cause irritation to the partner. Sleeping in the other room is not a solution to the problem.

Causes

The cause of snoring is the presence of extra tissues in the throat that are called floppy tissues. They vibrate when you breathe and make sound. Sometimes, the tongue comes in between the flow of air during breathing, which can be the other cause of snoring.

If a person snores with an open mouth then this is a symptom of presence of more tissues in the throat. But when one is snoring with a closed mouth, it is due the tongue.

Men snore more than women. You know why? This is because men have a narrow air passage than women. On the same pattern, as one becomes old then also the air passage becomes narrow which causes snoring.

Smoking is other cause of snoring as it causes nasal congestion. If one has asthma or cold then also he or she can snore. In some people the cause may be hereditary even.

Sleeping posture also contributes to snoring. When you sleep with flat back, the skin of the throat relaxes and thus causes air blockage. As weight is the cause for many diseases, it also contributes to snoring.
