Sleep apnea - Snoring

Snoring is the sound that occurs as a result of narrowing of the airway during sleep. Shortness of breath or congestion  during sleep can also be a symptom of serious disorders such as heart and blood pressure. Waking up to one's own voice is one of the biggest signs of this.
