10 Deviated Septum Symptoms
Symptom #7: Snoring
Snoring occurs when the respiratory structures vibrate due to obstruction of air movement resulting in a sound. Snoring can be soft or loud. It is also often the first indication of obstructive sleep apnea. Snoring has been attributed to be one of the factors causing sleep deprivation. Associated symptoms of snoring include irritability, daytime drowsiness, and lack of focus.
A study has estimated that as many as one in every fifteen Americans is affected by some degree of sleep apnea. Some examples of conditions that can cause snoring are obesity, throat weakness, mispositioned jaw, sleep deprivation, use of relaxants like alcohol or drugs, and nasal passageway obstruction, among others.
