Your answers suggest that your pharyngeal area constricts during sleep and that is why you snore.Your snoring can probably be traced back to the fact that the tissue of the lower pharyngeal area slackens and vibrates due to the airflow passing by. This is particularly happening when breathing in. The lung causes negative pressure in the airways; as a result, the airways are dragged inwards and partly deflate. In an extreme case, some parts of the airways which do not have supporting cartilages or bones, can completely collapse. This type of snoring can cause apneas or often leads to irregular breathing. It is therefore perceived as non-rhythmic snoring.We recommend you see an ENT physician in order to solve your breathing and snoring problems. Before recommending a certain product, it should be excluded that you suffer from sleep apnea.Please note: The results of this test are no medical advice and they can not replace it. The test only serves to give you general information. Since the test indicates that you suffer from pathological snoring, e.g. snoring that involves restricted airflow or interrupted breathing, you should consult an ENT physician.

In addition, your nose breathing is temporarily impaired.Your snoring can probably be traced back to the fact that the tissue of the lower pharyngeal area slackens and vibrates due to the airflow passing by. This is particularly happening when breathing in. The lung causes negative pressure in the airways; as a result, the airways are dragged inwards and partly deflate. In an extreme case, some parts of the airways which do not have supporting cartilages or bones, can completely collapse. This type of snoring can cause apneas or often leads to irregular breathing. It is therefore perceived as non-rhythmic snoring. The snoring is further aggravated by your impaired nasal breathing.We recommend you see an ENT physician in order to solve your breathing and snoring problems. Before recommending a certain product, it should be excluded that you suffer from sleep apnea.Regardless of the medical examination, you should use a nasal rinse on a regular basis in order to ensure a free nose. It is also advisable to wear a nasal dilator with an air filter at night. This cleaner prevents dust and allergenic particles from getting into the airways and the nasal mucosa from swelling.Please note: The results of this test are no medical advice and they can not replace it.

It is therefore perceived as non-rhythmic snoring. Snoring is intensified by the fact that you have problems breathing freely through your nose.We recommend you see an ENT physician in order to solve your breathing and snoring problems. Before recommending a certain product, it should be excluded that you suffer from sleep apnea.Regardless of the medical examination, you should always ensure a free nose. We therefore recommend that you use a nasal dilator (also known as nose clip). This small plastic clip has to be put into the nostrils before you go to sleep. The nasal dilator ensures that your nasal wings don't collapse when breathing in. It generally helps to breathe through your nose without problems.Please note: The results of this test are no medical advice and they can not replace it.

Your answers suggest that your pharyngeal area constricts during sleep and that is why you snore. In addition, you seem to have severe problems breathing through your nose.Your snoring can probably be traced back to the fact that the tissue of the lower pharyngeal area slackens and vibrates due to the airflow passing by. This is particularly happening when breathing in. The lung causes negative pressure in the airways; as a result, the airways are dragged inwards and partly deflate. In an extreme case, some parts of the airways which do not have supporting cartilages or bones, can completely collapse. This type of snoring can cause apneas or often leads to irregular breathing. It is therefore perceived as non-rhythmic snoring. Due to severe nose breathing problems, snoring is aggravated. We recommend you see an ENT physician in order to solve your breathing and snoring problems. Before recommending a certain product, it should be excluded that you suffer from sleep apnea.The physician should also check your nose. You might have enlarged nasal conchas, a deviated nasal septum or the like.Please note: The results of this test are no medical advice and they can not replace it.
