Symptoms and course snoring
What are the causes of snoring?
There are many causes of snoring, affecting men and women of all ages. It can happen that a young person does not have a snoring problem, but it can also happen that very young people snore. Scientific studies and observations of children show that snoring also occurs in children. The most commonly cited causes of snoring include excessive body weight (obesity), smoking, drug use, drinking alcohol, hypertrophy of the tonsils (in a person of any age), the patient's age and abnormalities of the throat structure and lack of nasal patency. These abnormalities may be congenital or acquired (e.g. various types of trauma or disease).

Home remedies for snoring
Many patients whose sleep is disturbed by snoring visit their doctor. Before seeking professional treatment, however, they try home remedies for snoring. They start by changing their lifestyle, eating properly, stopping smoking, avoiding alcohol and other drugs and not taking sedatives before bedtime, for example. If all home remedies fail, it is worth asking for help from a specialist.
