Why am I snoring
Snoring is basically creating annoying noises mostly at night while you are asleep which is caused primarily due to the obstruction of the free flow in the air we breathe. The obstruction is caused in the passage, which is at the back of the mouth and the nose, and effectually doesn't permit the proper air flow during breathing. The area where the flow of the air is not proper is the collapsible part of the airway where the upper throat and the tongue meet the uvula and the soft plate. Due to snoring these structures collide against each other, which results in a vibrating structure.
Snoring cannot be taken as a light problem as is often a serious problem. Snoring causes many medical conditions, it can affect women during their pregnancy, it also causes sleepless nights and a person becomes very uncomfortable. Snoring also causes problems like sleep apnea.
Some of the causes of snoring are mentioned below:
Structural cause: Snoring may be caused due to anatomical factors like narrow jaws, having a large tongue, enlarged tonsils, enlarged adenoids, thick soft palate, crooked septum or even small nasals. Snoring is can also be caused due to the tongue and the upper throat meeting the uvula and soft palate, blocking your air.
Outside causes: it includes most of factors, which affect the individual externally, however these are controllable.
These factors include allergies, consumption of alcohol, sedatives, and excessive and regular smoking, disruption of the normal sleep patterns, decrease in the lung capacities and an irregular lifestyle.
However, there are remedies and aids available. Some include dental implants, drug, prescription or over the counter medication, and natural remedies.
Sleep Apnea: This occurs when the snorer stops or ceases to breathe for several seconds, totally obstructing their breathing, this kindof obstruction is known as Sleep Apnea. Some of the most serious recorded episodes have lasted for ten seconds and these episodes occur more than seven times per hour. The affected snorer with this type of sleep apnea experience such episodes 30 to 300 times per night. These events are extremelyvery threatening for the individual.These events create other medical condtions, elevated blood pressures and even enlargement of heart might result.
Muscle tone of the tongue: The muscle of the tongue and the soft palate tend to reduce in size during sleeping. These muscles of the tongue become more relaxed resulting in their collapse. This is a significant cause of snoring. The soft tissues like the tonsils and tongue, which produces sounds, change the quality of snoring. Snoring is also affected by the position of sleeping. When you are laying on the back your tongue falls towards the throat and results in the blockage of the airway.
Blockage of airway: Any block of the airway results in reduced air flow, ultimately resulting in snoring. In children the primary reason of snoring is enlargement of tonsils and adenoids.
Age and other factors: Age is can also be one of the factors which contributes to snoring. In an older person the muscles become weaker resulting in snoring.
