Many people assume that snoring and sleep apnea are the same, but they’re quite different. Understanding the difference can help you determine if your snoring is just a nuisance or a sign of something more serious.

1. What Is Snoring?

Snoring occurs when airflow is partially blocked, causing vibrations in the throat tissues. It’s common and can be influenced by factors like:
✅ Sleeping position
✅ Nasal congestion
✅ Weight gain or alcohol consumption

2. What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a medical condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Unlike simple snoring, sleep apnea can lead to:
⚠️ Chronic fatigue
⚠️ Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
⚠️ High blood pressure

3. How to Tell the Difference

If your snoring is loud, persistent, and accompanied by choking or gasping sounds, it could be sleep apnea. Consulting a doctor is crucial if you experience these symptoms.
