What Does Snoring Have to do with My Sinuses?
Are you a snorer? Do you also find yourself frequently struggling with sinus infections? There is more of a connection between these two things than you might think. It is fairly common knowledge at this point that snoring can increase the risk of serious health conditions, like heart disease and stroke, so it should come as no surprise that snoring can also be caused by sinus issues. Snoring occurs when the free flow of air through the nose and throat is interrupted, and there are several things that can cause this interruption - from large tonsils and the shape of the head and neck to abnormally relaxed muscles and excessive weight. Sinus-related causes of snoring can include:
- Sinusitis
- Nasal Polyps
- Nasal Turbinates
- Deviated Nasal Septum
