Snoring
Sound produced by vibration of the soft palate and throat tissues during sleep; may be a symptom of sleep apnoea.
Simple snoring (primary snoring) occurs without sleep apnoea; however, OSA must be excluded during evaluation. Risk factors include obesity, alcohol, sedative drugs and nasal obstruction.
Lifestyle changes (weight loss, lateral sleeping, alcohol restriction) are effective for primary snoring. Nasal dilators, oral appliances and, when needed, surgery (uvulopalatoplasty) are among the options.
