IS MENOPAUSE CAUSING YOU TO SNORE?

IS MENOPAUSE CAUSING YOU TO SNORE?

Snoring

Snoring is an annoying sound made when people sleep due to an obstruction of air movement when breathing.

“The prevalence of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea increase considerably during the menopause transition.”

Stephanie S. Faubion, MD, MBA, Medical Director

Nonspecific symptoms caused by Snoring

- Headache - Fatigue - Depression - Anxiety - Insomnia - Sleep disruption

If you have started snoring or your snoring has recently worsened, then make an appointment to see a physician.

Try changing sleep positions (lying on one side rather than sleeping on your back) or using different pillows.

Ways to Control Snoring

Drink more water during the day since dehydration can lead to snoring.

Other fixes for snoring include making lifestyle changes.

Some women find that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) decreases snoring (although most go on HRT for different reasons).
