Why do you snore?

There are various causes of snoring, but they can be divided into two main categories: the first one is central, which is called neurological and usually occurs in the elderly. The second type is obstructive snoring, where the obstruction is located in the nasal or pharyngeal cavity. If the patient has nasal septal deviation, nasal polyps or hypertrophic rhinitis, tonsillar hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy, pharyngeal cavity narrowing and other diseases, it will lead to the formation of snoring. Therefore, patients can go to the sleep center of the hospital to improve sleep monitoring, clarify the specific cause and then go to the ENT department for detailed analysis and examination to clarify whether there are corresponding changes in the nasal and pharyngeal cavities, and then decide whether to solve the problem by medication or surgery. But no matter which type of snoring is involved, one of the most important points is to lose weight, and after losing a certain amount of weight, the patient’s snoring situation will also improve significantly.
