What Causes Snoring In A Person With Deviated Septum?
I m having extreme snoring due to deviated septum I think. My nose has been crooked since birth. I m 63 years old and with age the problem has worsened as has the snoring. Can you advise me? Would this be cove by insurance as an illness since it interferes with my sleep?
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be due to your obesity, if you are over weight, and could be due to disturbed sleep or sleepiness during the day. It is advisable to meet a pulmonologist and get evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Noor Us Saba Z
