Snoring What could be behind the noise and how to treat it?
Sleeping next to someone who snores is not just uncomfortable but can also be a sign of health issues that deserve attention. Snoring, often considered just an annoyance, can be caused by various factors and, therefore, requires a personalized approach to identify its causes and apply the most effective treatment.
At Clínica Débora Ayala, we understand that snoring is a multifactorial issue. That’s why we use advanced methods to evaluate each situation individually, combining various technologies and collaborating with other health professionals, if necessary, to ensure the best outcome for the patient and their family.
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring is a condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, such as:
- Nasal obstruction: Blocked airways often make it difficult to breathe and lead to snoring.
- Sleep apnea: A more serious condition that involves interruptions in breathing during sleep.
- Excess weight: Fat accumulation in the neck area can put pressure on the airways.
- Poor sleeping posture: Sleeping on your back, for example, can increase the likelihood of snoring.
- Alcohol or medication use: Substances that relax throat muscles can worsen snoring.
Because it’s multifactorial, snoring can involve more than one cause. This requires an in-depth analysis to ensure an accurate and effective diagnosis.
Why Can Snoring Be Dangerous to Your Health?
Snoring isn’t just an annoying sound at night. It can be a sign of something more serious, such as sleep apnea, which is associated with several health complications, including:
- High blood pressure: The lack of oxygen caused by apnea can overwork the heart.
- Cardiovascular problems: The continuous effort to breathe at night can affect the cardiovascular system.
- Excessive daytime fatigue: Poor sleep quality is directly affected by snoring and apnea, resulting in fatigue and lack of energy.
- Reduced concentration and productivity: Poor-quality sleep can harm performance at work and other activities.
Clínica Débora Ayala’s Integrative Approach
At Clínica Débora Ayala, we know that each patient has unique needs, and the treatment for snoring should reflect that. As we mentioned earlier, snoring is multifactorial, which means that a multidisciplinary approach may be required.
Dr. Débora Ayala explains that there is no single solution for snoring because it involves a combination of factors. It’s essential to associate different treatment channels, which may include the use of dental devices to keep the airways open or even collaborating with other health professionals, such as otolaryngologists or pulmonologists, depending on the case.
“The problem isn’t always just dental,” says Dr. Débora. “We need to identify with the patient whether they need specific treatment that involves other health professionals. This association is crucial for treatment success.”
