Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common causes of snoring and sleep apnea?
Snoring: Snoring is often caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the throat during sleep. Common factors that contribute to snoring include obesity, nasal congestion, alcohol consumption, smoking, and sleeping on your back.
Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing. Causes include obesity, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, nasal congestion, and certain anatomical features like a thick neck or narrow airway.
