Snoring

Why do people snore?

Here are some causes for snoring:

throat and tongue muscle weakness,

obstructed nasal airways,

fat gathering in or around the throat,

long soft palate or uvula tissue in the back of the mouth,

jaw misposition and muscle tension.

If you’re interested in some research, there is a list of publications by Mayo doctors on snoring on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.

How to Stop Snoring

Many people who snore don’t actually believe that they do. The first step would be to convince them that they actually snore and that they need help. Snoring can actually be life threatening, but surely, help is available.
