Snoring is common, but loud or persistent snoring can sometimes be linked to an underlying sleep or breathing problem. If snoring is affecting your sleep, leaving you tired during the day, or disturbing your partner, our Sleep Medicine team at Healthpoint can help you understand what may be causing it.
Through a specialist assessment, we can evaluate your symptoms and determine whether further testing, such as a sleep study, may be appropriate for you.
Occasional snoring is not always a cause for concern. However, frequent or loud snoring, particularly when accompanied by other symptoms, may be worth discussing with a specialist.
You may benefit from an assessment if you experience:
Not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. An assessment can help identify whether your symptoms are simply related to snoring or may be associated with a sleep-related breathing disorder.
Snoring happens when airflow through the nose and throat becomes partially restricted during sleep, causing surrounding tissues to vibrate.
Several factors can contribute to snoring, including:
In some people, snoring may be associated with obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which the upper airway becomes repeatedly blocked during sleep. This can affect breathing and sleep quality.
A specialist assessment can help determine whether there may be an underlying reason for your snoring.
Your assessment begins with a consultation with a sleep specialist. Your doctor will discuss your symptoms, medical history, sleep patterns and any factors that may increase your risk of a sleep-related breathing disorder.
If further investigation is needed, your doctor may recommend a sleep study (polysomnography). A sleep study records different aspects of your sleep and breathing, helping your specialist understand what happens while you are asleep.
Depending on your symptoms and clinical needs, testing may include an overnight sleep study or other specialized sleep investigations.
A sleep study can help determine whether your symptoms are related to obstructive sleep apnea or another sleep-related breathing disorder.
Treatment depends on what is causing your symptoms and whether an underlying sleep disorder is identified.
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include:
Your sleep specialist will discuss the most appropriate options with you based on your assessment and, where required, the results of your sleep study.
Consider speaking with a sleep specialist if your snoring is frequent or loud, affects your sleep or your partner's sleep, or is accompanied by symptoms such as daytime tiredness, gasping, choking or pauses in breathing.
You do not need to assume that snoring means you have sleep apnea. A specialist can help you understand what may be behind your symptoms and whether further assessment is needed.
