I started to have a snorting noise when i take a deep breath, do you know what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Snorting : Depends on how you are inhaling. If you are breathing in through your nose, it could be something in the nose like a deviated septum, congestion of turbinates, or polyps. If breathing through your mouth, it could be your soft palate, tonsils, or some growth vibrating. The oropharynx, hypopharynx, lungs are the common portion of the airway and could be the source. See ENT for fiberoptic exam.
