Summary

Snoring is often overlooked but can be a sign of serious underlying health issues. It indicates a narrowing or collapse of the airway, leading to decreased oxygen levels in the blood. Chronic snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, which is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression. Snoring can also affect relationships and lead to sleep divorce. In children, snoring can indicate sleep disordered breathing or pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, which can impact their development. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, non-invasive treatments, and addressing underlying causes.
