Snoring - DRHC Dubai ENT Clinic

Introduction

• Snoring is the loud and harsh sound that occurs when one sleeps. The flow of air that enters when one breathes makes the tissues present in the back of the throat vibrate causing the sound called snoring. DRHC offers the best Snoring treatment in Dubai.
• Though the women snore; it is most common amongst the men. Snoring usually occurs when one sleeps on the back and usually disrupts the quality of the sleep.

Causes of snoring

• Obesity, genetics, and pregnancy
  • The extra tissues present in the throat vibrate when one breathes in leading to snoring. Individuals who are usually overweight and obese often have bulky tissues in the throat causing snoring.
  • Genetic factors and pregnancy can also lead to enlarged tonsils and adenoids causing snoring.
• Allergies and nasal congestion
  
  • When there is any kind of congestion in the nasal tract, which prevents proper breathing, the snoring is bound to happen. This includes flu cold or other nasal allergies. 
• Central sleep apnea
  • Central Sleep Apnea is a sleeping disorder that briefly stops breathing when a person sleeps and thus leads to the occurrence of snoring.
• Sinus infections
  • This nasal condition affects the breathing flow and thus leads to snoring when the person is sleeping.
• Deviated septum
  • The deviated septum leads to health problems such as difficulty breathing, which in turn leads to the condition of snoring. 

Diagnosis of snoring

• When you visit our ENT specialist, he will inquire about the allergies you have been suffering from and also about your eating and drinking habits and the medicines, if any.
• The doctor will examine the throat and the nasal passages for signs related to nasal, dental, jaw, mouth, or throat infections which may result in snoring.
• If the specialist suspects the presence of obstructive sleep apnea, then your partner may be asked to keep track of the same by noting the sleep as well as the snoring pattern.
• The doctor may also suggest you take the sleep monitoring study which will help in analyzing the sleep as well as the frequency of stopping breathing during sleep.

Treatment for curing snoring

There are numerous products, medical equipment, exercises, surgeries, and drugs that claim to be a sure-shot treatment for snoring. However, lifestyle changes are considered the most effective treatment which include:
