Treating Snoring Disorders

Common Symptoms We Can Treat

Snoring can be a difficult and frustrating problem to deal with, especially for the person sharing a bed with you. Many people do not realize that the throat vibrations caused by snoring can kill you. It is well known that people who snore have a much greater risk of having a stroke. The vibrations caused by snoring cause inflammation in the carotid arteries that cause plaque buildup that lead to strokes.

In addition to this, snoring can also be a sign of a serious sleep disorder, sleep apnea. Snoring can be caused by a wide variety of things, including genetic factors, obesity, pregnancy, allergies, drugs and alcohol, and more.
