Snoring is common, but regular or heavy snoring is an airway issue that should be checked: ### Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) This occurs when throat tissues collapse during sleep, briefly blocking your airway and reducing blood oxygen levels. ### Warning Signs Consult a specialist if snoring is accompanied by gasping or choking at night, daytime fatigue, or morning headaches. ### Airway Screenings A flexible nasal endoscopy can help locate the site of airway narrowing, guiding choices like CPAP therapy or simple surgical correction.
