What are Snoring &
Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Snoring is sound produced during sleep, typically from vibration of structures inside the throat. Snoring can have important effects by itself. However, it can be a sign of a more-serious problem called obstructive sleep apnea that can lead to sleepiness and fatigue during the day and create serious health problems.
Dr. Kezirian has created an extensive video on Snoring and Sleep Apnea. Watch the video below or Read More.
