What does snoring mean?
Persistent long term snoring, is an alarm that something is wrong with the way a person is breathing and they may not be getting enough oxygen while they are sleeping. Snoring or sleep disordered breathing can be a sign of sleep apnoea, which is when breathing completely stops for a few seconds. A sleep study can help determine the extent and severity of sleep apnoea . Depending on the cause of sleep apnoea, we can assist with treatment. In children, heavy breathing may be cause for concern.
