A member asked:
Is sleeping with mouth open caused by old age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: It is more likely related to an inability to breath through the nose. Breathing through your nose is healthier and i would suggest seeing someone to help you do so. Probably an ENT physician would be the best person to see..
