Does snoring relate to having a deviated septum? i cannot breath while snoring and i often wake up with headaches.

Yes: Deviated septum can lead to partial obstruction of the nostril leading to snoring.

Vibrating tissues: Often due to insufficient airway size/volume in relation to excess speed of air flow. Especially seen in cases of weight gain or lack of tissue tone or the aging process. This can make treatment difficult because sometimes removing tonsils can increase airway size but reduce tissue tone. Deviated septum may make one side more closed but the other side should be more open.

Sleep apnea: Waking up at night frequently because of difficulty breathing and an associated headache in the morning is a sign of sleep apnea. See a sleep specialist to help with sleeping, reducing snoring as well as headaches.

Deviated septum: Get a sleep study and have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.

Not likely: Snoring, the noise that originate from the soft tissues of the oropharyngeal walls during inspiration, can become a component of sleep apnea. This usually does not occur until the age of 30 to 40 and may be connected with weight gain. See your PCP for evaluation.
