10 Causes of Snoring
Cause #4: Deviated Septum
The septum is the hard part of our nose, made of cartilage, that actually separates the nasal cavity. Because of the septum, we have two nostrils instead of one larger cavity.
A deviated septum is a septum that has some sort of internal damage. Since the septum is responsible for giving shape and structure to the nasal cavity, one can imagine how a deviation in the septum – such as a bump or a concave section – can contribute to snoring by blocking the airways.
