Doctors! what actually leads to snoring?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lots of things...: Specifically, snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. In some cases the sound may be soft, but in other cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (osa). Causes range from obesity, anatomy, hormones, neurology & more.
