STOP SNORING AND START LIVING!

Nearly everyone snores now and then, but for some people it can be a chronic problem. Snoring can sometimes indicate a serious health condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is often characterized by loud snoring followed by periods of silence when breathing stops or nearly stops. Eventually, this reduction or pause in breathing may signal the person to wake up, and the patient may awaken with a loud snort or gasping sound. Daytime sleepiness and/or bed partner disturbance is the primary reason most people finally seek treatment for snoring.

WHEN TO SEEK TREATMENT FOR SNORING...
