Abstract
Snoring has only recently come under wide study. Recent research has established the close relationship of severe snoring to sleep apnea in terms of the obstructive pathophysiology. Snoring tends to increase in severity over time and may progress to sleep apnea. Severe snoring may be associated with pulmonary and systemic hypertension, secondary polycythemia, and cardiac arrhythmias.Keywords
