Curing Snoring Patients in New Jersey

Snoring is extremely common. As many as half of all adults occasionally snore. In the best-case scenario, snoring is an annoying habit that bothers your sleep partner. However, snoring can also be a symptom of sleep apnea, which is a very serious health problem. New Jersey Sleep Apnea Solutions, led by Drs. Ivan & Allan Stein, shares everything you need to know about snoring.

Why Do I Snore?

Snoring occurs when the airway in the throat is partially blocked, preventing the free flow of air as you breathe. Excess tissue in the throat (such as large tonsils, a large soft palate or a large tongue) collapses backward, blocking the airway. When air enters the nose and mouth and travels down the narrow space in the throat, the soft palate vibrates. This is what causes audible snoring noises.

Snoring Statistics

  • One in three adults snore regularly (approximately 37 million adults).
  • 45 percent of men and 30 percent of women snore regularly.
  • 5 to 7 percent of children snore regularly.
  • Nearly 60 percent of people claim their partner snores at night.
  • People that share a bed with a snorer report getting an average of three to five hours of sleep a night.
  • People that snore are three times more likely to experience a health condition than people that do not snore.
  • There is a hereditary factor in seven out of 10 snorers.
  • The loudest recorded snore was 111 decibels (a normal conversation is about 60 decibels and anything above 90 decibels can cause ear damage).

Causes Of Snoring

Certain factors relax the throat tissues excessively so they partially block the airway and lead to snoring. For example, if you drink, smoke, take muscle relaxers or sleeping pills, you are more likely to snore. Being overweight or having excess weight around the neck also contributes to snoring. And sleep position affects snoring — if you sleep on your back, you are more likely to snore.

In children, enlarged tonsils or adenoids may cause snoring.

When Your Snoring Indicates Something More Serious

If your snoring is accompanied by audible gasps or choking, this combination could indicate that you have obstructive sleep apnea. As you sleep, your airway becomes completely blocked and your breathing stops. When your breathing stops, it triggers your brain to respond by waking you up slightly so you start to breathe again. As you resume breathing, you might gasp or choke. This pattern repeats multiple times per night (sometimes hundreds of times), preventing you from getting adequate sleep.

Snoring Treatment In New Jersey

At New Jersey Sleep Apnea Solutions, we provide the newest and most effective treatment options for snoring and sleep apnea. We have recently invested in a specialized CO2 laser that reduces snoring in virtually all patients. The procedure is called fractional ablation. It’s quick and painless.

Here’s how it works:

Requiring no anesthesia and only 5 minutes of your time, our Doctors apply the CO2 laser to the parts of your airway responsible for snoring: your soft palate, tonsils, and the top and sides of your tongue. The laser stimulates collagen production and tightens the tissue, creating a clinically more patent airway!

There is virtually no post operative pain or discomfort. Only RESULTS!

Most patients report a reduction in snoring immediately! Typically, patients require one to three procedures spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results

If you or a family member is a chronic snorer, it is highly recommended you speak to a sleep specialist or contact New Jersey Sleep Apnea Solutions in West Orange for further evaluation.

After confirming the diagnosis, Drs. Ivan & Allan Stein and the team at New Jersey Sleep Apnea Solutions can explore your treatment options. Please call us a today, we look forward to hearing from you!
