Snoring is caused by partial obstruction of the airway when the uvula in the back of your mouth rapidly moves back and forth while breathing when sleeping.

Unfortunately it's supremely annoying to those of us who are still awake and can still hear it.

Snoring is the sign of a slight health imbalance. It is not normal or healthy to snore and it can cause health problems.

If you just snore fairly quietly once in a while, then it's fairly harmless, though annoying, and avoiding sleeping on your back may be all that is needed. I've never heard of people snoring while awake.

If your snoring is really loud and disruptive, chances are good that you have a condition called sleep apnea, which MUST be taken seriously. Untreated sleep apnea not only stresses both the snorer and everyone else in the house who can't get a good night's sleep, it can also lead to heart malfunction and death!

Apnea is easily treated with the use of a night-breathing aid called a CPAP. You must see a sleep doctor before you can get one, as they have to be individually adjusted, but most insurance covers the cost. CPAP eliminates snoring 100% and keeps your heart from being damaged. Surgery is very rarely used to treat apnea, as the success rate is not that good.

Please ask your doctor to refer you to a sleep doctor or sleep clinic ASAP. These facilities often have a long waiting list, and procrastinating can really damage your health. Do it today.
