The Damaging Effects of Chronic Snoring

Many people either know someone who snores or snore themselves. Unfortunately, many people do not think to seek treatment for their condition, as they are unaware of the dangers of chronic snoring. This can cause individuals who have a sleep condition such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to endure their condition for years before realizing they have it. Snoring is the result of decreased space in your airway. The effort it takes for air to get through forces you to breathe more forcefully and loudly, and when your airway is completely blocked, it can cause you to stop breathing for periods of time altogether. If you or a person you know suffers from chronic snoring, do not wait to call our team.
