Patient's question:
I've been snoring a lot while sleeping for the past six months. I'd like to know what's going on.Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of snoring. It is recommended that you see an otolaryngologist. You may have enlarged tonsils or uvula hypertrophy, nasal polyps. Snoring can be quite dangerous because it may lead to breathing pauses, hypoxia, and arrhythmia. Additionally, sleeping on your side can help alleviate snoring to some extent. In some cases, surgical treatment may be necessary.
