Is Snoring a problem?
Snoring is a social nuisance. However, it can be a potential problem, especially if it disturbs the bed partner. Snoring can lead to marital problems, irritation and anger at home.
If a patient who snores has symptoms of tiredness, poor concentration, daytime sleepiness, choking sensations at night, this patient may have a serious medical problem called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).


Paediatric Snoring / OSA
Children who snore at night may be suspected of OSA. These children may have nose block or narrow air passages due to big tonsils and adenoids. Children with OSA have insufficient oxygen at night. Hence, they are prone to behavioural disorders, short attention spans, and poorer school performances.

Patients with severe OSA, may stop breathing as often as once every minute, over the entire night's rest.
