How to Handle Snoring
Erica Van Buren Josephine Magazine | Dec 6, 2016 | NewPressnow.com For some couples, dealing with a snoring partner is an ongoing battle. But snoring could be a sign there’s something else going on.

If resistance to airflow increases, the efforts to maintain adequate ventilation and breathing may cause transient arousal from sleep that is typically not severe enough to cause the level of oxygen in the blood to decrease (hypoxia). This is called the respiratory effort related arousal (RERA). When the resistance increases even further, the ventilatory efforts cannot keep up with the degree of resistance to maintain …

Frequent night awakenings and urination may be due to obstructive sleep apnea, not enlarged prostate.
