Is Snoring Keeping you or your family awake? | ||
Before Silent Nite After Silent Nite An amazing 1/3 of the population, or about 80 million people, snore while they sleep, often repeatedly disturbing spouses and children. Question. Did you know that snoring can cause serious health problems? Answer. As you snore, you are struggling to breath causing the blood pressure in your carotid arteries to soar. This pressure can lead to damage in the walls of the arteries, increasing your risk of stroke. Question. What causes snoring? Answer. As you sleep, the muscles and soft tissues relax and make the breathing airway smaller. A smaller airspace makes air travel faster, which causes the tissues to vibrate producing snoring. We Can Help! We have many happy patients who are now sleeping soundly and getting the rest they need. This eliminates the vibration in the back of the airway causing the snoring. Some surgical procedures to reshape the tissues are available, but tend to work only 20 - 40% of the time.
