A member asked:
Why do some people snore when they sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Snoring, see PCP: is a noise made by the vibration of pharyngeal tissue in your upper airway. Snoring isn't just a nighttime inconvenience, it can be a serious health issue (e.g. obstructive sleep apnea). See your PCP for evaluation and sleep study test.
