Snoring can be one irritating consequence of nasal polyps. That's because these pesky polyps obstruct your nasal passages, making it trickier to breathe smoothly while you're catching those z's. Ever tried breathing through a narrow straw? That's kind of what it can feel like.

I've snored a few times myself when dealing with stubborn nose blockages. It was like my body was trying to play the trumpet while I was sleeping! 😅

Nasal polyps increase the resistance in the airways, causing the tissues around to vibrate more than they should. This creates—you guessed it—those less-than-melodic snores. It can be worse when you're dealing with postnasal drip, which is another partner-in-crime in the polyps world.

So, if snoring keeps your partner awake or results in your pup running for cover, those polyps might just be the cause. Chat with your doctor about ways to clear those passages. You could end your sleep concerts and breathe easy once more!
