When i breathe in and out with my mouth closed it sounds like snoring, could that be an indication of something serious going on with my lungs?

Probably uvula: Or your soft palate. It could be laxity of the naso- or oropharynx as well. This may best be diagnosed with videofluoroscopy or endoscopic visualization. Discuss with an ent.

Snoring: It may not be an issue with your lungs. See an ENT to evaluate for blocked nasal passages ( deviated septum, enlarged turbinates ), sinus issues, enlarged tonsils and or adenoids.

Nasal obstruction: can occur due to anatomic abnormalities or inflammatory processes that lead to swelling in the nose. If nasal obstruction is affecting your life, please call our PCP for an appointment.
