    • The genetic factors and pregnancy can also lead to enlarged tonsils and adenoids causing snoring.

    • When there is any kind of congestion in the nasal tract, which prevents proper breathing, the snoring will bound to happen. This includes flu or cold or other nasal allergies. 
  • Central sleep apnea
