Snoring

Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe. Nearly everyone snores now and then, but for some people, it can be a chronic problem. Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues, such as your tongue, soft palate, and airway, as you breathe. The sagging tissues narrow your airway, causing these tissues to vibrate.
