In a new HuffPost feature titled “If You’re A Snorer, ENTs Suggest These Solutions,” Dr. Ofer Jacobowitz of ENT & Allergy Associates offers expert commentary on the causes, risks, and treatments for snoring. While often dismissed as a simple nuisance, Dr. Jacobowitz explains that snoring can sometimes signal more serious health issues—like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—or even contribute to vascular problems due to vibrational trauma in severe cases.
He outlines several common triggers including nasal congestion, smoking, weight gain, alcohol use, and exhaustion, and emphasizes that even in the absence of OSA, chronic snoring shouldn't be ignored. Along with other specialists, Dr. Jacobowitz recommends a range of solutions from lifestyle modifications and throat exercises to effective over-the-counter aids. As he notes, addressing snoring usually requires a personalized, multi-faceted approach for lasting results.
