Effective Snoring Treatment in Valencia
What Causes Snoring?
When you sleep, a narrowing of the airway passage can occur which leads to a smaller amount of air coming through. Since the air is trying to force itself through a narrower opening, it can vibrate the tissue and lead to loud snoring sounds. It is estimated that more than 10% of adults snore. Snoring on its own does not have any severe medical consequences.
However, it can be a sign that you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which is a medical condition that must be treated. At Valencia Headache and Sleep Treatment Center, we offer effective treatment for snoring and OSA.

What Are the Common Symptoms of Snoring?
The most common symptom of snoring is the sound, but some people who have difficulty breathing or sleeping can experience other symptoms. A person who suffers from sleep apnea will stop breathing, which will lead to a disruption in snoring.
If you have difficulty sleeping at night but are not aware of a loud snoring noise, you may still have sleep apnea. In the case that you live alone or have your own room, you may not be aware that you snore at all.
The most common symptoms include:
- Excessively tired during the day
- Headaches in the morning
- Waking with a dry/sore throat
- Waking up gasping or choking
