The Role of the Sinuses

To understand sinusitis, it is important to first learn about your sinuses and their role in your health.

The sinuses are air spaces behind the bones of the upper face, between the eyes and behind the forehead, nose, and cheeks. The sinuses are covered with a mucus layer and cells that contain little hairs on their surfaces called cilia. These help trap and push out bacteria and pollutants.

Each sinus has an opening that allows mucous to drain—this drainage is essential to keeping your sinuses working well and you healthy. Anything that obstructs that flow may cause a buildup of mucus in the sinuses and trigger symptoms that range from minor to severe.

Experts agree that healthy sinuses are a key to a good quality of life and that unhealthy sinuses may cause some unwanted complications.

Snoring Defined

Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe. Nearly everyone snores now and then, but for some people it can be a chronic problem. Symptoms include:

Being overweight
Age
Sinus or nasal issues
Sleeping position
Sleep apnea

Are you suffering from the following?

Snoring occurs when your breath cannot pass freely through your nose, throat and mouth while you’re sleeping. When passages are blocked by tissue, the tissue vibrates, creating the characteristic snoring sound. There are a number of factors that make snoring more likely.

Snoring Facts

More men than women report that they snore—42% of men compared to 31% of women, according to the National Sleep Foundation. (Because this is self-reported, and because snoring is qualified by the person listening to it, these percentages are estimates.)
