Best Doctors for Snoring Treatment in Vijayawada

Snoring refers to that common condition where one makes harsh or noisy respiratory noises during sleep. In this process, airflow through the nose and mouth is only partial and its vibrating action causes the tissues in the throat to vibrate. Contributory factors of snoring are obesity, nasal congestion, alcohol, sleep position especially lying on one's back, and anatomical variations like a deviated septum or enlarged tonsils.

Some symptoms characteristically associated with snoring include loud noises while asleep, patterns of sleep usually disordered, and sometimes, in both the snorer and his bedmate, daytime fatigue. Chronic snoring may represent obstructive sleep apnea, which is a much more serious condition with repeated interruption of breathing while one sleeps. Treatment of snoring is usually based on the cause. Lifestyle modification that includes weight loss, avoidance of alcohol before sleep, and alteration of posture at the time of sleep will itself help in controlling the condition of snoring. Sometimes oral appliances, continuous positive airway pressure devices are also necessary. Surgical intervention is to be done if anatomical problems are present.
