Reading the Tea Leaves of Chronic Snoring

Chronic snoring can portend many things, from obesity and enlarged adenoids to a deviated septum, illness, or injury. Understanding the origins of your snoring is Step One in your quest for a cure. The stakes are pretty high: many researchers believe that snoring is strongly correlated with a host of grave health problems including heart disease, stroke and mental decline.

4. Sinus Issues

Snoring may signal temporary sinus issues — a sinus infection can cause your nasal airway to swell, while allergies can cause nasal congestion — or more serious, long-term issues. A deviated septum, which occurs when the thin wall between your nostrils is displaced to one side, can obstruct airflow on one side of your nose and requires surgery in order to be properly fixed.
