What is Snoring?

Snoring is harsh, noisy, rattling breathing that is caused by an improper inflow and outflow of air while you're sleeping. When you fall asleep, your throat muscles naturally relax, your tongue slips backward, and your throat narrows.

Snoring can be caused by a number of factors, such as the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses, alcohol consumption, allergies, a cold, and your weight. When you doze off and progress from a light sleep to a deep sleep, the muscles in the roof of your mouth (soft palate), tongue and throat relax.

How is it diagnosed?

How is snoring treated? If your snoring is affecting your sleep (or your partner's), your doctor may fit you with a dental device to keep your tongue from blocking your airway. Losing weight can also help treat snoring. Some people may need surgery to correct a blockage in the airway that's causing the snoring

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

  • Somnoplasty: A minimally invasive procedure to reduce the soft tissue in the upper airway or back of the throat.
  • Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy: Removing the tonsils and/or adenoids may be needed to prevent snoring.
