Is snoring is more than a noise?
Use the control panel to the right. Does that sound like
someone you know? When a person snores, some part of the upper airway is losing
tone and getting floppy. Sometimes snoring is a sign that the airway isn’t just
vibrating, it is narrowing and preventing the needed amount of air from reaching a
person’s lungs. Snoring for this person is a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a
serious sleep disorder that can have serious consequences, including: high blood
pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be easily
diagnosed and effectively treated. Please review the Patient
FAQ for more information.
