Dr. Gingras will take a thorough history and physical exam to determine the causes of your snoring. She may also schedule an overnight Polysomnogram (PSG) to determine whether Snoring is causing sleep fragmentation or is associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Snoring is the REG FLAG for Sleep Apnea.
Treatment of Snoring
