Snoring & Sleep Apnea 

Snoring is a common condition with specific anatomic roots. Snoring can have many causes and can sometimes be a sign of a serious medical condition. Some of these causes include mild allergies, the presence of cysts, thick tissue in the throat or neck, and a deviated septum. 


Snoring can also indicate sleep apnea, a serious condition that deprives the patient of adequate rest. With this condition, you actually stop breathing momentarily; and even though the moment is brief, it decreases the amount of oxygen available to your body. Left untreated, sleep apnea can contribute to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, workplace or motor vehicle accidents, increased risk of heart disease, and more. Around 3 percent of the general population experiences obstructive sleep apnea.
