Snoring simply means the action of making a snorting or grunting sound while asleep. When air travels through relaxed tissues in your throat, the tissues vibrate, resulting in a snorting or grunting sound.
Although snoring is a common problem for all age groups, in some cases, it may be a symptom of an underlying health condition. Snoring gets more frequent with age. Men and overweight people are said to be more prone to have snoring problems.
Treatment for Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Customized oral guards are often effective treatments for Sleep Apnea and snoring. Snoring is the noise produced by the tissues of the upper respiratory tract as a result of excessive vibration. It is a common sleep related breathing disorder. This noise occurs due to obstruction to the free flow of air through the nose and the passage behind the mouth.
Snoring is multi-factorial and is affected by being overweight, drinking alcohol, smoking, a blocked nose, sleeping position and in children large adenoids and tonsils are a common cause.
Snoring may be associated with a condition called Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which in itself is a significant medical condition that requires treatment.
OSA occurs when you stop breathing while asleep as the throat collapses and blocks during sleep. The patient is restless during sleep and struggles to breathe, may wake up suddenly with a loud grunt, does not feel refreshed in the morning and tends to dose off during the day.
Bad snorers tend to develop OSA and therefore any person who snores should be assessed for the possibility of OSA.
Examination includes a thorough assessment of the airway by the Sleep Apnea and Snoring specialist, and sometimes an endoscopy may be carried out in the clinic. Often we seek the opinion of a respiratory physician / sleep specialist. OSA is diagnosed by an overnight sleep study (polysomnography).
The treatment depends on the severity and the cause/s of the snoring or OSA as this is multi-factorial. Treatment includes weight loss, reducing alcohol, mandibular advancement devices, CPAP or surgery, where appropriate. Surgical options include tonsillectomy, palatoplasty with/without tongue base reduction using COBLATION.
