Diagnosis: The Environment a Factor in Snoring Treatment

Numerous environmental factors may cause snoring, such as:

• Allergens: Common allergens such as pollen, dust, dust mites, and animal hair can cause irritation or swelling in the nose and throat. Such allergic reactions can lead to snoring.
  
  
• Air Pollution: Chemicals, sprays, fumes, and smoke are common irritating substances that can irritate air passageways and obstruct breathing.
  
  
• Lack of Humidity: If the air in your home is very dry, your nose may become stuffed up, causing mouth breathing and snoring.
  
  
• Heat: Recent studies have shown that the heat of the summer months can aggravate snoring symptoms.
  

As part of the diagnosis and treatment of your snoring, the specialists of Eos Sleep, formerly the Manahattan Snoring and Sleep Center in New York City will examine these factors and more to determine the cause of your snoring.
