“I am not a Nigerian but the name of Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu is one name anytime I hear sounds so nice to me and I will look for opportunity to get the meaning of that name one day.

Dr Oluwafemi Ojo, a consultant pulmonologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, speaks to ALEXANDER OKERE about snoring and its management
Why
do people snore?
Snoring is caused by the flow of air through a narrowed airway space. It is a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea, itself, is a sleep disorder in which breathing stops involuntarily for brief periods of time during sleep. Normally, air flows smoothly from the mouth and nose into the lungs at all times. Periods when breathing stops are called apnea or apneic episodes. In OSA, the normal flow of air repeatedly stops throughout the night. There are several types of sleep apnea, but OSA is the most common. Untreated sleep apnea can cause other serious health problems.
