Snoring occurs when the jaw opens, and the tongue falls into the back of the throat, narrowing the airway and forcing air through the smaller opening. This creates sound vibrations in the throat known as snoring.
Snoring can seriously affect your quality of life. It can be embarrassing and inconvenient, and can cause problems in relationships. In some cases, snoring is a red flag for a more serious medical problem called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Disorders associated with snoring and sleep apnea include:
-
Diabetes
-
Heart attack/stroke
-
High blood pressure
-
Cardiovascular disease and arrhythmias
-
TMJ pain disorders
-
Menopause induced sleep apnea
-
