Some people produce a harsh or husky noise from their nostrils while sleeping; this is referred to snoring. The pathophysiology of snoring revolves around partial obstruction of respiratory passageways while sleeping and is often associated with other disturbing symptoms. Based on the latest research and clinical studies, men are more prone to experience chronic snoring or sleep apnea as compared to women. In poorly managed severe cases of snoring, the risk of developing serious health problems increases significantly.

Common Causes of Snoring:

There are different causative factors or underlying medical conditions that may lead to snoring. For example, in some cases, snoring is the result of incomplete relaxation of respiratory muscles as well as muscles of soft palate, throat and tongue that supports breathing movements. Incomplete relaxation leads to partial obstruction (or narrowing) of respiratory passageways. In severe cases of obstruction, forceful entry of air through narrowed passageways produces a loud sound due to vibration of tissues; perceived as snoring.

Here are some additional causes of snoring:

Mouth Anatomy is among one of the factor causing the issue. People who are born with thick low palates are more likely to experience this issue. Additionally, elongated soft palate –uvula also obstruct the airflow which may amplify the vibrations.
Certain congenital or acquired anatomical defects of nasal septum such as curved partition between nostrils- deviated nasal septum or chronic nasal congestion can also produce snoring.
Individuals with a family history are more likely victims of snoring.
How to Prevent Snoring – Know your Risk Factors:

Following are some important risk factors that may make your snoring worse. Controlling these risk factors can help in optimal prevention (or management of snoring)

It is observed that obese people have extra padding of tissue at the back of throat which further narrows the airways to make your snoring worse. It has been observed that moderate weight reduction can help in improving the quality of sleep by reducing the severity and frequency of snoring.
Consumption of excessive quantities of alcohol before bedtime can make snoring worse by interfering with the natural tone of throat muscles that support the airways. Snorers are highly recommended to limit their alcohol intake to maintain adequate patency of their respiratory musculature.
Sleep deprivation can cause incomplete relaxation of throat muscles which further contributes to snoring. Experts recommend 7-9 hours of uninterrupted and restful sleep to adults for adequate health and wellbeing.
Sleeping position also matters. While lying on back, the snoring becomes louder and more frequent. This is because the gravity aggravates the pressure on the throat muscles which further leads to narrowing of airways. Speak to a sleep doctor to learn more about best sleeping positions that are helpful against snoring.
Snoring may also be related with obstructive sleep apnea. It is a serious condition in which throat tissues moderately or fully block the airway; thereby transiently stopping breathing during REM stages of sleep. In OSA a person experience loud snores followed by periodic silencing (due to transient cessation of breathing). This pause in breathing can lead to gasping sound or loud snort that affects the quality of sleep of affected person as well as his partner. All individuals with OSA are advised to seek adequate medical help as untreated cases of OSA can lead to hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular ailments, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

How to Cure Snoring Naturally?

To cure snoring naturally, healthcare providers recommend lifestyle modification such as, avoiding alcohol before bedtime, treatment of nasal decongestion, moderate weight loss, avoiding sleeping on the back and avoiding sleep deprivation. Sometimes, changing your pillow or using inclined wedges can also sort snoring issue.

How to Cure Snoring with Snoring Aids?

Speaking to a sleep expert is the best way to stop snoring. Your doctor may suggest one or more of the following snoring treatments:

  1. Use Stop Snoring Mouthpiece:

There are a variety of prescription as well as over-the-counter dental mouthpieces available in the market. These snoring aid devices are designed to reposition the jaw, soft palate and tongue to improve the patency of respiratory passageways. People who rely on snoring aids should visit their dental specialist at periodic intervals for health assessment. It is always recommended to invest your money in the best anti snoring devices to minimize the risk of common side effects such as jaw pain, dry mouth, excess salvation, and facial discomfort.

  1. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure- CPAP:

This anti-snoring device is ideally recommended for more serious cases of OSA. The affected person wears a pressurized mask over the nose during the sleep. The mask is connected to a pump to ensure adequate flow of air through the airway for dilation. This procedure can cure snoring. Because of its reliability and effectiveness this method is gold standard management of complicated obstructive sleep apnea. However, people using this device often report discomfort and loss of sleep due to noise produced by the machine.

  1. Palatal Implants:

This method is also known as pillar procedure. In this formula the braided strands made of polyester filament are injected into the soft palate. These strands stiffen the palate to decrease the snoring. The procedure doesn’t have any serious side effects though the safety and benefits of the method are still under research and studying.

How to Cure Snoring with Surgeries:main-qimg-5e22d94e8fd644046ba167c42d178ded.png

Traditional Surgery: A microinvasive procedure uvulopalatopharyngoplasty –(or UPPP) is also performed to cure snoring in chronic patients to trim and tighten the excessive throat tissue. The doctors usually perform this procedure under the general anesthesia. This method can be compared to a traditional face lift. The risk associated with this procedure includes; infection, nasal congestion, pain and bleeding.
Laser Surgery: An outpatient snoring surgery (also known as laser-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty- LAUPPP) is considered superior to traditional UPPP due to minimal risk of bleeding and other side effects. The procedure is performed by a small hand-held laser device. The beam of laser shortens the soft palate, removes excess tissues (from uvula) to minimize the risk of airway obstruction for snoring relief. The only downside of the procedure is multiple sessions to achieve desired results.
Radiofrequency tissue ablation- Or Somnoplasty: This is an outpatient procedure that is performed under local anesthesia and involves delivery of low-frequency radiofrequency signals to shrink the tissues present behind the soft palate. This helps in reducing snoring and is less painful as compared to other snoring surgeries.
If you or your loved ones are suffering from sleep disordered breathing with/ without snoring and other sleep issues, speak to a professional to identify core issue for optimal management.
