Snoring also has a stubborn tendency to get worse with age, it's however a common condition that can affect just about anyone.

Snoring happens in both male and female but it occurs frequently in men and people who are overweight.

It is most common in people who have too much throat and nasal tissue or “floppy” tissue that is more prone to vibrate. Cold and enlarged tonsils are also major reasons people snore.

Snoring can be triggered by things like alcohol, medications, breathing through the mouth and so on.

If left untreated over time, it gets worse because of the vibrations that occur during snoring cause the muscles to weaken and damage blood vessels that supply muscles in the head and neck.

You stand a risk of habitual snoring if you are:

1. Obese

If you have fat around your neck- of circumference more than 43cm/17 inches, you'd snore a lot!

2. Medications

Anti depressants and sedatives are known to cause snoring as well.

3. Alcohol

Alcohol is known to get the airways narrow, relaxing the muscles when you sleep causing you to snore.

4. Smoking

Smoking is yet another cause of snoring as they cause the airways to become inflamed as well as narrow it (the airway).

5. Allergic reactions in the nose, tonsils and throat are also major causes of snoring.
